Sir Kenny paid tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster after receiving the honour

Sir Kenny also said the victims of the Hillsborough disaster were in his thoughts.He added: “They also stood beside us many, many times. We only did for them what I would expect you to do for somebody.“They helped us on many occasions, unfortunately it was in better circumstances, maybe during a game, so when their time came it was not much to ask, that we could turn into being the supporter.“It just came naturally to everybody. We never did it for any outside accolades. We did it because we thought it was right.”
