Kenny Dalglish has been questioned at the inquests into the Hillsborough disaster about the behaviour of Liverpool fans and hooliganism.
The former Liverpool player and manager was quizzed about what he had written in his autobiography on ticketless fans "bunking in" to games, by John Beggs QC, who represents former Hillsborough match commander Superintendent David Duckenfield of South Yorkshire Police.
In sometimes heated courtroom exchanges, involving coroner Lord Justice Goldring and other lawyers, Mr Beggs repeatedly tried to ask the witness about hooliganism and a "cohort" of Liverpool fans who were "prone" to violence, drinking heavily and trying to get into football grounds without tickets, "before, during and after" the Hillsborough disaster, the court heard.
Mr Dalglish was Liverpool manager on the day of the tragedy and, at the request of South Yorkshire Police, broadcast a message to fans asking for calm, as the disaster unfolded at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on 15 April 1989.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died from the crush on the Leppings Lane terrace of the ground as the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest got under way.
Mr Dalglish, giving evidence from the witness box and watched by around 25 relatives of victims, was asked by Mr Beggs about his book, My Liverpool Home, written in 2010.
The Hillsborough inquests began on 31 March and were originally expected to last for a year, but are now due to finish some time after July 2015.
Now on day 118, the jury is currently hearing evidence about the response of emergency services on the day and has already heard witnesses speak about stadium safety, preparation and planning for the match.
The inquests, held in Warrington, started with personal portraits of each of the 96 victims being read to the court.
