So it seems odd that Dalglish should choose to celebrate
that period so publicly by taking his new £35m striker to see
reunited Irish pop group Boyzone at Liverpool's Echo
Arena.
The pair were spotted by Twitterer Sheena Williams who posted this picture of the happy
couple enjoying all the hits of Ronan, Shane, Keith and the other
one.
The erroneously-named boyband were in Liverpool on their current
tour, but it's anyone's guess why Dalglish and Carroll felt
compelled to attend.
Suggestions have included Carroll picking up hair maintenance
tips, Dalglish watching four men move in unison in a way his back
four can only dream of, or a simple love of insipid ballads and
screaming middle-aged women.
