A live hand grenade was found outside home of Liverpool legend and former manager Kenny Dalglish.

Dalglish, who currently has a senior role at Liverpool’s Academy, was on tour with the Liverpool side in Asia.

However, Dalglish’s wife Marina was still in the Merseyside home.

Police were searching the area in connection with another incident unconnected with Dalglish.

A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said: “The device was removed and made safe and is currently undergoing forensic examination.

“The road remains cordoned off at its junction with Sandringham Road and high-visibility patrols have been stepped up in the area to reassure the public.

“Detectives believe this incident is linked to a series of other recent incidents in this area and not to the owner of the property where the device was found.”
