Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool manager at the time of the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster, was questioned Friday about the behaviour of ticketless Reds fans at the inquest into the 96 deaths.

Dalglish was quizzed on extracts from his 2010 autobiography, "My Liverpool Home".

In sometimes fractious courtroom exchanges, lawyer John Beggs, representing senior police officers on duty at Hillsborough, repeatedly tried to ask Dalglish about hooliganism and drunken, ticketless fans trying to get into football grounds.

The lawyer said Dalglish wrote about the 1986 FA Cup final between Liverpool and local rivals Everton, speaking of fans climbing through windows and using ropes to get into Wembley Stadium in London.

But Dalglish said on Friday: "I don't think I'm actually judge and jury how people should and should not behave."

At Hillsborough in Sheffield, northern England, fenced-in Liverpool fans were caught up in a terrace crush during an FA Cup semi-final match in 1989. It was Britain's worst sporting disaster.

Dalglish was asked about the 1985 Heysel stadium disaster in Brussels also involving Liverpool supporters, in which 39 people -- almost all Juventus fans -- were killed in violent scenes.

He said he had seen little of the Hillsborough disaster unfolding as he had been in the dressing room before kick-off and again after play was halted six minutes in.

Soon "the place was mayhem, nobody knew what's going on, there's stories coming from every angle", he said.

He went with the police to urge fans to co-operate with officers, but found a first microphone was not working.

The probe, which is actually made up of multiple inquests for the individual deaths, is being held at a purpose-built court outside Warrington, east of Liverpool.

It got under way in March and is expected to last until at least November 2015.

The original coroner's verdicts were quashed in 2012 amid claims of a police cover-up.
