      Shankly honoured with new monument by home village.
      Sep 04, 2014 08:02:12 pm
      A monument was unveiled to mark 101 years since iconic Liverpool manager Bill Shankly was born.
      Reds legends Alan Kennedy and Roy Evans were on hand to reveal the new metal sculpture to the world.
      It is located in Mulkirk four miles from the Scottish mining village of Glenbuck where Shankly was born, although little remains of it now and the monument is designed to look like the trade union banners once flown at Anfield.

      Jay McKenna, chairman of the Spirit of Shankly fans group said ''it really is fantastic he is being recognised still by the people where he comes from''.

      think the digits on the end of the link changed, this one should work.

      what a reminder that this man was an inspiration away from football as much as he was inside it. he dedicated his life to building something that means everything to millions.. he's a complete legend putting his home town on the map, he's a complete legend at preston north end and again the same for us. what an inspiration.
