Shanks was the greatest ever British manager. He was loved by all of his players. It would have been a pleasure to play football for that man. He would however have hated Modern football with its corruption and greed. Shankly was like every Scottish boy, and like the Queens Park motto he played for the love of the game. God bless the Shanks. We will never see your likes again.
Yes he was a great human being and all the teams were great iam greek but I grew up with all the English football of the 60s and 70s we had only 2 channels but every weekend we had all English football highlights of all the teams now I am 58 years old how I miss those days
What a legend he is Bill Shankly 15 years years as Liverpool manager made us the best team in the world in the 70s to early 90s then in 1992 Sky and BPL came along with their Money and destroyed English football forever FACT it's a shame we won't see that passion anymore in the game but I hope Jurgen Klopp who does have passion for the game can give are Liverpool player's what this club is all about and the game.
Do Liverpool fans know Bill had a brother that was almost as famous as his brother, Bob Shankly took Dundee F.C. to there only League championship win in the early sixties also took Dundee to the European cup, (as it was called in those days) semi finals, in 1962, Dundee won first leg at home, but we're beaten in second leg to eventual Winners Inter Milan amongst much jiggery Pokery in Italy..anyway awesome achievement for a provincial Scottish team, Dundee gave German champs 8-1 at Dens, amongst other great results on way to Semis, Bob Crampsey renowned and respected football brain in Scotland said the Dundee team at that time, in his view best Scottish team since war including Celtics Lisbon loins...God bless Bob Shankley.
Dundee also played Leeds Utd in the Fairs Cup (morphed into the EUFA Cup) in 1968 but lost. Nothing has been preserved sadly. Also Dundee UtD & Dundee FC are the closest grounds in the world ie just across the road & down a few yards.
Although am a non-Liverpool fan, Bill Shankly was a remarkable manager at Liverpool.3 league titles, 2 FA cups and one cup in Europe.Bill Shankly left too early, forty-three years ago, but you got to respect the man.Shankly allowed Paisley to continue the Liverpool dominance which I envy, but the Mersey club were unstoppable under Shankly, Paisley and Dalglish.
During the Shanks period it was Bob Paisley behind the scenes that done the tactics & selected players to be bought, Shanks was the heart that made Liverpool beat but Paisley was the brain & that's why when Shankley retired Paisley just carried on & it was business as usual & Shankley was cold shouldered by Paisley as he was now fully in charge & he didn't want any distractions & he was right, Bill was out & Bob was now in. The rest is history & without Paisley during the Shankley period they wouldn't have won as much as they did with him.
i am a united fan but this is brilliant, brillant, particularly the last 10 minutes that show snippets of his interviews and the nuggets of wisdom... some poignant words, "it cost me my family time", keeping things simple, the use of big words, which he abhorred, alot of that stuff has now come to pass in modern football speak, unfortunately....stories by the ex players, fantastic... i watch all the documentaries on the great managers, paisley, shankly, clough, dalglish, fergusson, busby, revie, stein, the foreign managers, trapp, dutch mgr of 70s,common thread through them all, geat judgement of character, kept things very simple, clear,
You don't mention which United? The only true United play in Yellow White and Blue! You are Probably a native of Cornwall or some point South! Bill Shankly built Liverpool from the rubble he was left with, bless him for that. Bob Paisley took over a well oiled machine. Revie left behind a similar legacy but the board mucked it up appointing Clough. Busby built the other United from the ground up after Munich. Those three are true legends of the modern game. Clough and Fergusson bankrolled by Rupert Murdoch, bah humbug!
@2TNOIR going by your comment you are a typical Leeds fan....ignorant and thick...a little englander....a 2nd tier club that thinks they are a big club...15 years at most as a significant force in English football and ye think ye are up there with the greats of English football...how was clough bankrolled by murdich? Was he bankrolled at Derby and forest? No. Neither was fergusson... was he bankrolled at Aberdeen when he won leagues in Scotland in 80s against the power houses celtic Aberdeen? No ... neither was he at united...go away and educate yourself and stop dragging your knuckles along the floor... ya fool ya...
Doing a project on '81,got to September,had to watch this.One of the greatest legends of the game for me-passionate,sincere,hilarious,a genius with players & a true man of the people.Sadly,we will never see his like again.Respect from a Luton fan
why are you being sad about that--? Look at LFC now. The building blocks Shankly layed out for us to play with. On the pitch, in our lives,... Love that man. If he was still here, I'd just say.. thanks.
Big respect from a Newcastle fan. This Gentleman was the greatest... In my eyes and perception Newcastle and Liverpool are very similar clubs. Only Newcastle never enjoyed the success Liverpool have... Same people same Loyalty.. YNWA...
Shankly definitely was a great man who wasn't arrogant and as he rightly said that he wanted to see Liverpool as conquerors of Britain and the world as a whole.3 league titles, 2 F.A. cups and one cup in Europe. It's no wonder that Shankly wanted Paisley his assistant to continue where he left off.As an Arsenal fan, I like Liverpool, because they were moral, mature and mild and the city love their football too.
I'm an Everton supporter, and I am always proud of the club hen I read Shankly say he was treated better at Everton than he was at Liverpool after his retirement. Like Clough, he as a great man and a great manager - and, importantly, those things in that order.
when I was a kid I only needed 2 mentors: Shanks & Lennon... he was much more than a manager, more than legend. thanks Shanks for all you gave my life !
Bob Paisley is the most successful manager in Liverpools history. But it was Shankleys brilliant Liverpool team he took on and added to. Shankley built the club into a monster of the late 60s and all through the 70s and 80s. He is Mr Liverpool.
Man Utd dominated the 50s and 60s mate. Liverpool won 2 titles and an FA Cup. Calm down. Shankly has won less trophies than Anderson. And besides, Sir Alex Ferguson won more than Shankly and Paisley put together!
Dan Voke Liverpool - 5, Manchester United - 3; (Sir) Bob Paisley - 3, Fergie - 2; Bob + Shanks - 24 years, Fergie - 27 years. Liverpool is the most successful British club in European competition. That's a fact. Manchester United has never, ever dominated Europe; Liverpool did.
Dan Voke Oh, and as for the 'more trophies than Shankly and Paisley', that is true. You cannot compare, though, because Liverpool was not even in the First Division when Shankly took over. The club was in a mess when he arrived, which can hardly be said for Manchester United. Underachieving, maybe, but not a complete shambles of a club.
Are there any Liverpool fans watching this, that watched this 4/5 years ago who commented that Liverpool could do with Shankly today, and think/realise that from 2016 - present day we may have finally found him? In Jurgen we trust. YWNA.
Enjoyed this education in football. Great man. Poignant at end when he retired. I guess he owed some quality time to his family for all the success and backing they gave him over the years. Thanks for posting.
If there are better words for perfect, those words would be Bob Shankly. Amazing story, person and brought an unbelievable foundation that makes Liverpool who they are today.
I'm reading RED OR DEAD by David Peace. What a legend this man was. A football man for football people. He respected the fans more than any other manager ever. I'm a City fan born and bred Manc but putting Manc-Scouse rivalry aside, this is well worth reading
I'm an Everton man and I have always kept, in the back of my mind, a short list of Reds that it might be acceptable to have, in an alternative universe, play for us, Heighway is near the top of that list.
wouldn't look out of place in the current side under Klopp. I first started following Liverpool as a kid at the end of Shank's reign. Heighway, Keegan, Clemence and Hughes are the names i remember most from those days.
We didn't call him a God for nothing and 46 years later 2020 and we have been blessed once more with a manager who has so many characteristics and effect not only on the players but on every liverpudlian blessed to be born in liverpool but around the world believe me as i'm old enough to have felt the emotion of what shankly made the people feel like and Klopp is the only manager since who has that same magic
i realise this is a video about Shankly, one of the true greats given what he achieved after starting off with next to nothing, but i can't help noticing that Leeds team in the 1965 FA cup final - included players like Sprake, Bremner, Hunter, Reaney, Charlton, Giles who were still playing for the club when they won the first division a full nine years later. Impossible to imagine a group of players in the modern era staying together like that. OK, back to the video about Liverpool.
That Ron Yates anecdote is just brilliant "We're in the 1st Division son, I thought you were the 2nd Division, well we'll be the 1st division this time next year after we sign you"
As a 47 yr old Yank, it kills me as a life-long football fan that I was born in America! Jk..but seriously, these old vids are introducing me to the legends of England and educating me on the history of the game. Absolutely love this stuff, but only makes sense as it is in my DNA!! Thanks for posting, much appreciated!!
GOAT! Shanks the legend, god, saviour, messiah you name it that was him. Some people say that football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you that it is much much more important than that. I am an Evertonian and I respected him although I loved it when we thrashed him and them 4-0 at Anfield in September 1964. The biggest humiliation was the season after when we went back to Anfield and lost 5-0 although it is best not to think about that. Prior to him we were and still was the big club on Merseyside but by the early Seventies this no longer the case. In terms of success and trophies them lot became better than us but not in terms of supporters either in quality or quantity.
A great man Honest humble @ Scottish I stay just down the road from where shanks was born one of the few people I would like to have met, his nephew did teach me history at school though
Every great British football manager was born and reared in mining communities. Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Brian Clough, Jock Stein, Matt Busby. Alex Ferguson was born and raised in the shadows of the Govan Shipyards.
iam aekathens.shankly created the great liverpool fc and bob paisley continued his job more succesfully.he gained more titles esp. in europe.2 great men of International football created a fantastic liverpool fc which i used to admire. anyway shankly was the key-manager of liverpools history ever.best wishes from athens
As a Leeds fan of that era, what an absolute Legend you were Mr Shankley and true and dedicated honest manager I could listen to you all night long, you certainly were simply the best
+Dan Voke utd 3european cups,, liverpool 5 european cups and got to keep it ,paisely 3 european cups ,, fergie 2 european cups ..... snap out of ur buzz.
@@montychurchill726 Paisley gained such a reputation for being able to diagnose injuries, so much so, a woman turned up at Anfield with her Greyhound who was nursing a sore paw...Paisley sent the word back to the reception saying 'Tell her I dont do dogs'... He is still very highly thought of round here, I live about 3 miles from where he was born, I remember quite a few years Liverpool Reserves were playing Sunderland Reserves and the Liverpool Reserve went and laid a wreath at his memorial stone in Hetton-le-Hole and paid there respects
Travelling back to Liverpool after signing Emlyn Hughes from Blackpool they had a minor car accident the policeman who attended the scene asked ' can I have the name of your passenger please Mr Shankly " Bill turned out at the officer and said " that my son is a future captain of England "
wow....I didnt know that Liverpool and Everton are like Celtic and Rangers....originally I was watching lubo moravchik and the link came up for Liverpoolool.....in the 60's you were truly a great team......give Brendan Rodgers a chance....he will turn the club around.....and Mr. Shankly? a very beautiful person that didn't mess his words he is a true Liverpool Legend :)
Good documentary on the Godfather thanks Shankly, taught it’d bring up how he transformed Melwood & created the boot room that brought 3 dynasties of Shankly’s success & knowledge.
Bill Shanckly a commencé à construire l'équipe, C'est juste, mais c'est quand même Bob Pailey qui leur a fait gagner des titres et donner un style de jeu (plus prôche des latins que des britanniques).
Loved it. Thanks. ( Great to have some extended highlights in there). Great manager - great crowd - great teams. And what different times. They never practised a corner or a free kick ?! But ate steak and played five-a-side a lot. Haha. Being a Q.P.R fan who came to football during the 75/76 season, I always was a bit reluctant to look back and embrace the Shankly era, but it was worth waiting for. That last hour and a half was a joy.
+mizofan yes, one of the first things he did was change the strip to all red ,and as he said the team was everything not any one player "it's a form of socialism", sadly missed he never let the players forget who really mattered , the fans .
+mizofan I LOVED Shankly and Brian Clough....but Cloughie the great Socialist...!!...He took more bungs and Brown envelopes than all other Managers put together. lol Actually like MP Michael Meacher who was a renowned Socialist MP but he only had FIVE houses...Another wonderful Socialist..lol
good Information i knew about clough Labour party left wing,i knew about shankly Labour too,and ferguson.i didnt know about stein and busby...cheers from greece
One hell of a manger was bill and a honest humble guy whom talked to players a make them feel there was the best player of that era world beaters and some rose to that now u say that to all ur players its going to give them a great lift and play better for the whole team don revie was good friends will bill and both made there teams the best in Europe LIVERPOOL AND LEEDS WON LOTS OF CUPS IN THEY TIMES OF GREATNESS... IVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR LIVERPOOL AND BACK IN THE DAY WHEN LEEDS WON THE LEAGUE AT ANFIELD 20K FROM THE FAMOUS KOPP END STARTED SINGING TO THE LEEDS TEAM CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS THAT NEVER LEAVES U AS A FAN WHEN LIVERPOOL WIN THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR I MYSELF WILL STAND UP AND SING CHAMPIONS TO U GUYS BECAUSE THE GAME NOW IS SO MUCH BETTER AND U HAVE TO BE SPECIAL TO GO ALL THEM GAMES AND BE THE BETTER THAN TEAMS AROUND U COM"ON LIVERPOOL 3OYEARS WILL BE OVER AND THE PRIZE IS YOURS PS CHAMPIONS
Met him when l was a kid, his aura was unbelievable. As a scruffy little scouse kid he made me feel as if l was the most important person there. He was with Paisley. Fagan and the first team but he made me feel ten foot tall (l was only 12 ha!)
The queen never made the mistake of wearing the colour of one of the teams playing ever again. As the kop sang the queens wearing red the queens wearing red. As she came out.
Golden days of the game for me, players played for the love of the game and their club, and they wanted to play every game! Not like the majority of prima donnas that play now, only in it for the money and are out injured at every chance and for the smallest of things.
Interviewer.. Bill they say being a manager is one of the hardest jobs in the world? Shanks... Aye son,you could be correct, try being a debt collector in Glasgow..
Shanks was the greatest ever British manager. He was loved by all of his players. It would have been a pleasure to play football for that man. He would however have hated Modern football with its corruption and greed. Shankly was like every Scottish boy, and like the Queens Park motto he played for the love of the game. God bless the Shanks. We will never see your likes again.
A man's man.
A top Manager.
Respect where respect is due.
From a UTD fan.
I'm a Liverpool fan but Ferguson the same Ferguson is the same like Billy shancly
A force to be reckoned with. His influence echoes all around us. I loved him. ❤️
Me too what a man manager what a influential man what a legend ❤❤❤❤❤
He wasn't just a great manager - he was a superb human being.
+Anthony Mead Great comment, fully agree.
Shanks was a great human being, he would have endorsed Jeremy Corbyn and made idiots see!
That was the secret to his great success.
Yes he was a great human being and all the teams were great iam greek but I grew up with all the English football of the 60s and 70s we had only 2 channels but every weekend we had all English football highlights of all the teams now I am 58 years old how I miss those days
He certainly was 😉👍
Brilliant. I'm a Celtic man all my life - but what a story, and what a man. God bless you Shanks.
i am a blue myself from Liverpool, i was born in Everton. This man was something else, him & Harry Catterick- i was in awe of both of them
I loved when he picked up the scarf that the copper had pushed away with his foot and put it on. So simple. No wonder he is adored to this day!
What a legend he is Bill Shankly 15 years years as Liverpool manager made us the best team in the world in the 70s to early 90s then in 1992 Sky and BPL came along with their Money and destroyed English football forever FACT it's a shame we won't see that passion anymore in the game but I hope Jurgen Klopp who does have passion for the game can give are Liverpool player's what this club is all about and the game.
I came from that distant future lad. What do you tjink of Jurgen now?
Do Liverpool fans know Bill had a brother that was almost as famous as his brother, Bob Shankly took Dundee F.C. to there only League championship win in the early sixties also took Dundee to the European cup, (as it was called in those days) semi finals, in 1962, Dundee won first leg at home, but we're beaten in second leg to eventual Winners Inter Milan amongst much jiggery Pokery in Italy..anyway awesome achievement for a provincial Scottish team, Dundee gave German champs 8-1 at Dens, amongst other great results on way to Semis, Bob Crampsey renowned and respected football brain in Scotland said the Dundee team at that time, in his view best Scottish team since war including Celtics Lisbon loins...God bless Bob Shankley.
Thanks for the info about Bob. Ah, that was when Alan Gilzean was a prolific scorer- many today are unaware of that excellent team
El jock, it was A.C milan that beat Dundee in the semi's not inter, and it was 63. Nice bit of info on bob though
Bill was the youngest of 5 boys, all 5 were professional footballers. Wish we knew more about the other 4 brothers.
Nice one i didn't know that.
Dundee also played Leeds Utd in the Fairs Cup (morphed into the EUFA Cup) in 1968 but lost. Nothing has been preserved sadly. Also Dundee UtD & Dundee FC are the closest grounds in the world ie just across the road & down a few yards.
Bill Shankly: Father of the modern day Liverpool.
And in a spiritual and footballing sense.......
Jurgen Klopp: Son of Shankly.
LOL you can say that again
Although am a non-Liverpool fan, Bill Shankly was a remarkable manager at Liverpool.3 league titles, 2 FA cups and one cup in Europe.Bill Shankly left too early, forty-three years ago, but you got to respect the man.Shankly allowed Paisley to continue the Liverpool dominance which I envy, but the Mersey club were unstoppable under Shankly, Paisley and Dalglish.
And as Liverpool fan I have to shankly paisley and Dalglish but I give 10 out of 10 for Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United fair and square
Paris Stromatias he couldn’t do in 20 years what Paisley did in 5 years: 3 European Cups
@@NotSoRandom_ He built the club up and laid the foundation for those who followed him and made Liverpool Britain's greatest club side.
During the Shanks period it was Bob Paisley behind the scenes that done the tactics & selected players to be bought, Shanks was the heart that made Liverpool beat but Paisley was the brain & that's why when Shankley retired Paisley just carried on & it was business as usual & Shankley was cold shouldered by Paisley as he was now fully in charge & he didn't want any distractions & he was right, Bill was out & Bob was now in. The rest is history & without Paisley during the Shankley period they wouldn't have won as much as they did with him.

Why do you repeat your comments twice? Are you ill?
Come back when you have 20 and more than 60 trophies.
Dan Voke Liverpool - 5, Manchester United - 3; (Sir) Bob Paisley - 3, Fergie - 2;
Bob + Shanks - 24 years, Fergie - 27 years.
Liverpool is the most successful British club in European competition. That's a fact. Manchester United has never, ever dominated Europe; Liverpool did.

There will never be another! How LFC could do with him today.
mate, Sir Alex won 3x more than him. Chill. 16 league championships to 6.
Dan Voke Gloryhunting pathetic moron.
+Dan Voke how fergie was a good manager but a horrible person ,Shankly was a great manager and a great person
+Dan Voke utd 3european cups,, liverpool 5 european cups and got to keep it ,paisely 3 european cups ,, fergie 2 european cups ..... snap out of ur buzz.
You should worry? You have Klopp, looks like we have Bruce!!!!!!!! Heeeelp. wheres the parachutes, a big drop is imminent.
He's intense 😂
I started a "Shankly" in The Richmond upon winning our 6th European Cup 😁🤸❤️
What a man, my deepest respect
What a great man, this man revolutionise club football in England in English outlook in European football
Shankly,Stein,Busby,Paisley,champions of the working class the likes we badly need today.
Ian StJohn's story about steak is so damn funny.
+thucydides Neo
you must look up the story of bob paisley and the german machine liverpool bought to treat injuries. now thats funny.
@@montychurchill726 Paisley gained such a reputation for being able to diagnose injuries, so much so, a woman turned up at Anfield with her Greyhound who was nursing a sore paw...Paisley sent the word back to the reception saying 'Tell her I dont do dogs'...
He is still very highly thought of round here, I live about 3 miles from where he was born, I remember quite a few years Liverpool Reserves were playing Sunderland Reserves and the Liverpool Reserve went and laid a wreath at his memorial stone in Hetton-le-Hole and paid there respects
We love you Liverpool, we do. We love you Liverpool we do. Oh Shankley we love you
Shanklin and Paisley,the best ever, probably because they where never sacked, just plain good.
Travelling back to Liverpool after signing Emlyn Hughes from Blackpool they had a minor car accident the policeman who attended the scene asked ' can I have the name of your passenger please Mr Shankly " Bill turned out at the officer and said " that my son is a future captain of England "
wow....I didnt know that Liverpool and Everton are like Celtic and Rangers....originally I was watching lubo moravchik and the link came up for Liverpoolool.....in the 60's you were truly a great team......give Brendan Rodgers a chance....he will turn the club around.....and Mr. Shankly? a very beautiful person that didn't mess his words he is a true Liverpool Legend :)
Good documentary on the Godfather thanks Shankly, taught it’d bring up how he transformed Melwood & created the boot room that brought 3 dynasties of Shankly’s success & knowledge.
a truly great man
We sing YNWA like they did. With pride.
Bill Shanckly a commencé à construire l'équipe, C'est juste, mais
c'est quand même Bob Pailey qui leur a fait gagner des titres et
donner un style de jeu (plus prôche des latins que des britanniques).
Awesome video !!
Loved it. Thanks. ( Great to have some extended highlights in there). Great manager - great crowd - great teams. And what different times. They never practised a corner or a free kick ?! But ate steak and played five-a-side a lot. Haha. Being a Q.P.R fan who came to football during the 75/76 season, I always was a bit reluctant to look back and embrace the Shankly era, but it was worth waiting for. That last hour and a half was a joy.
best manager ever....
Great socialist manager, like Ferguson, Clough, Stein, Busby...
+mizofan yes, one of the first things he did was change the strip to all red ,and as he said the team was everything not any one player "it's a form of socialism", sadly missed he never let the players forget who really mattered , the fans .
+mizofan I LOVED Shankly and Brian Clough....but Cloughie the great Socialist...!!...He took more bungs and Brown envelopes than all other Managers put together. lol
Actually like MP Michael Meacher who was a renowned Socialist MP but he only had FIVE houses...Another wonderful Socialist..lol
That's the name of the game !
Don't do as I do.....Do as I say......
good Information i knew about clough Labour party left wing,i knew about shankly Labour too,and ferguson.i didnt know about stein and busby...cheers from greece
Shankly was a leftie which I didn't know.It's no wonder he was so successful with a successful British club.
Wow! A God? No, higher than that. A human being who encapsulated all that is great about being a human being.
Thanks for this video!
One hell of a manger was bill and a honest humble guy whom talked to players a make them feel there was the best player of that era world beaters and some rose to that now u say that to all ur players its going to give them a great lift and play better for the whole team don revie was good friends will bill and both made there teams the best in Europe LIVERPOOL AND LEEDS WON LOTS OF CUPS IN THEY TIMES OF GREATNESS...
IVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR LIVERPOOL AND BACK IN THE DAY WHEN LEEDS WON THE LEAGUE AT ANFIELD 20K FROM THE FAMOUS KOPP END STARTED SINGING TO THE LEEDS TEAM CHAMPIONS CHAMPIONS THAT NEVER LEAVES U AS A FAN WHEN LIVERPOOL WIN THE LEAGUE THIS YEAR I MYSELF WILL STAND UP AND SING CHAMPIONS TO U GUYS BECAUSE THE GAME NOW IS SO MUCH BETTER AND U HAVE TO BE SPECIAL TO GO ALL THEM GAMES AND BE THE BETTER THAN TEAMS AROUND U
COM"ON LIVERPOOL 3OYEARS WILL BE OVER AND THE PRIZE IS YOURS PS CHAMPIONS
Brendan Rodgers should watch this documentary
Outstanding.
I think he has
Met him when l was a kid, his aura was unbelievable. As a scruffy little scouse kid he made me feel as if l was the most important person there. He was with Paisley. Fagan and the first team but he made me feel ten foot tall (l was only 12 ha!)
Bill Shankley the best coach ever in history 👏 YNWA 🔴🚩Liverpool ❤️ Anfield 👊
The queen never made the mistake of wearing the colour of one of the teams playing ever again. As the kop sang the queens wearing red the queens wearing red. As she came out.
After I Watched This Video I Became A Liverpool Fan Bill Shankly Made A Liverpool Fan, I Have Now Been A Liverpool Fan For 30 Years Now,
He made us happy
Golden days of the game for me, players played for the love of the game and their club, and they wanted to play every game! Not like the majority of prima donnas that play now, only in it for the money and are out injured at every chance and for the smallest of things.
omg...highway is such a fantastic player.
Let's get this right Keegan 1971-1977 not 1971 - 1976, OK? Good :P
12:12 no wonder Liverpool were so good… they had a future 3 time European Cup winning manager running on the pitch, to help the injured player.
Van Dijk is Klopp's Ron Yeats
Klopp to become "shanks 2"...cos we love and respect him....and he will stay
the best.
Those Aydjacks were good.
LEGEND
As good as he was (and he was VERY good), Paisley too it stratospheric.
Interviewer.. Bill they say being a manager is one of the hardest jobs in the world?
Shanks... Aye son,you could be correct, try being a debt collector in Glasgow..
The ghost of Shankly brought Jurgen
