As my Forum legend becomes "Paisley" at 2000 posts I think its fitting that I use my 2000th post to highlight the legend of the man. Truly phenomenal record

I dedicate my 2000th post to Sir Bob Paisley

R.I.P

I was only a nipper when he retired but I remember my Dad telling me all about him and Shankly and I wish I'd been born 20 years earlier.

Well in Bri.

I was watching the unveiling of the memorial for him in Hetton Le Hole yesterday (had recorded it when it was first aired on LFC TV).

Nice gesture Brian, I'm sure he would have been very pleased.

Bet he was smiling to himself on Tuesday night.

Gone but never forgotten.

Kenny mate I really dont think people fully grasp the timespan of his achievements. Unreal. Surely will never be matched

3 European Cups in 5 years is phenomenal enough but the rest as well? Amazing, just amazing.

R.I.P Bob.

Indeed Bri.

Like BigRed1978 says, it's just amazing.

Quality stuff Brian!

RIP Bob. A true legend.

Any one who wasnt around to see Bob, take some time to read up on His life and achievements. Shanks and Paisley.. AWESOME!

Just read that a trailer ran yesterday on BBC radio 4 for there "front row" programme which was featuring the new Brian Clough film " The damned united" qouted this

"Brian Clough is the only British manager to have won the European Cup in consecutive seasons..."

F**kin disgraceful that. They have yet again belittled the great achievments of this great man. They should be pulled up on this. Email them phone them write to them. Lets not let the great Bob Paisley be tossed aside as if he was a nothing manager.

Just e mailed them Brian and asked them to set the record straight .

What an amazing record. Average was 3 wins every 5 games in all competitions and 3 european cups in 5 seasons.
Wish i was able to see him when he was in charge.
R.I.P Bob, a Liverpool FC Legend

Brian Clough was always in the shade compared to Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly,he had a gob and that all even Shanks new that and so did Bob.
Bob Paisley the quiet Master.YNWA.

Just e mailed them Brian and asked them to set the record straight .

Well in.  The BBC get right on my tits.

JD Have you had some sort of opperation we dont know about

Bob Paisley would hate all this fuss over him and he would be the first one to point out it wasn't his team but Shanks His and Joe's, The three wise men.

When Bob took over the reins who would have thought he would do what he did. He never suffered fools gladly, he was tea total (I think) or at least most of the time but did he know his stuff.

Converting Ray Kennedy from a forward to a midfielder was a master-stroke, Ray was a really skilful player and his driving runs must have had Arsenal crying in their tea cups (they sold him to us).

Bob had a knack of building new teams and I believe he built three, that's some achievement for all of them had success and the list is long.

He won all he did in just eight years and if anyone thinks it was easier then they are wrong, their were mainly just British players then, so everyone had the same pool of players to buy from. Clemence I think was the only one to play in all the teams Bob built, when he left he bought Grobbelaar from Crewe.

Bobs achievement in eight year was not just good it was outstanding he not only built teams whilst winning trophy's he left Joe, who had a hand in all the work, a very good team and even when Joe left after a year or two the team was still their for Kenny to take on and do a bit of team building of his own.

Thank you Bob Paisley, YNWA.............

^^^^

Great post.

I will always be a Shankly baby, but Bob was the man who wiped the floor with them all. With a smile on his face. And a gentle humility that Mourinho would do well to observe. Never seen Bob throwing medals at the fans or sprinting up and down like a rabid dog.

Unfuckingbelievable the BBC at times, an it was only two years before. Plus Bob's still the only British manager to win the European Cup three times.

An unbeliievable era in the club's history, presided over by an unbeliievable man. He will never be forgotten and the BBC's comments are a disgrace to his memory, so I'm going to email my protest after finishing this. RIP Sir Bob.

Bob Paisley is the perfect way to explain loyalty to someone who does not know what the word means.I saw Bob play for L.F.C. many times and still feel that if he had played at Wembley in 1950 against Arsenal we would not have had to wait till 1965 for our first F.A.Cup win.For posters who are not aware Bob scored against Everton in the semi final and was dropped for the final ( no subs in those days ). Years later when we were at Wembley for a cup final Bob had to drop a player and he said I know how he feels. That was Bob Paisley ,good footballer,good trainer ,good manager,good clubman and furthermore a gentleman.Thanks for the memories BOB.

Still waiting for the bbc  to rectify their clanger they better hurry up or i will be back in touch with them .
