      RIP Bill Shankly

      They don't make make them like you anymore Bill, you would hate today's world, full of greed and self righteousness, this is not your world, you lived in the best days, where everyone knew there place, knew what was what and rarely rose above it, sadly the socialism you preached & craved for is no more, but we are still here Bill, we're still fighting,  and it is still here at Anfield,
      We have a new messiah now, a German fella called Jürgen, and you will be pleased to know he has the same philosophy as your great self, he too believes that we are one and the same,  that we all work together, and when we do we will create good things, he's a socialist just I like us Bill, he gets us, same as you did, we have already conquered the bloody world Bill, and we are becoming your Bastion of invincibility,
      God Bless you Bill Shankly, your gone, but never ever forgotten. YNWA


      PS, Everton are still Sh*te !

      My Dad told me a funny story about Shanks the other day.
      During his time as manager he would often drive in his own car to pick up new signings from their hometown and this was the case when he signed Emlyn Hughes.
      He drove to Blackpool to pick him up and bring him to Anfield for his signing in 67
      As he drove down the motorway back to Liverpool his car was allegedly stopped by the plods for speeding..
      When he pulled over and got out he said to the officer..
      "See that man there (pointing to Emlyn sat in the passenger seat), that's the future captain of England. The sooner I get him to Liverpool for his medical the sooner England will be a better team"
      The copper let him go, so I'm told.. ;D

       :lmao: That's brilliant, so hope that actually happened, Shanks was unique his SoH didn't always shine through but i know Scouse & Scots share the same humour,  one story I know to be true is when Tommy Smith had a knee injury,  Shanks was desperate for Tommy to play, so he went to see him in the physio room . How ye doin Son says Shanks,  aw it's my knee boss says Tommy, dunno if I can play, Shanks far from happy tells Tommy in no uncertain terms, ' it's not your knee, it's Liverpool's knee' your playing,  :lmao:

      Shanks loved Tommy,  he said he wasn't born, he was Quarried  :lmao:

      The Brilliance of Bill Shankly.

      One of the best old school managers I had the witness of watching him strut his stuff on the touch line. He knew how to get his players motivated and didn't take any sh*te.

      RIP Shanks.

      Irrepressible, incomparable, unreplacable, unflappable.
      Built this great club up, from what was almost a scrap heap.
      The love, the passion and the genius.
      A true musketeer, all for one. One for all.
      Bob won more, but it took the genius of Bill to lay the foundations, and create the momentum for that to become possible !
      RIP BOSS. YOU'VE NEVER WALKED  ALONE.

      I was lucky enough to attend his funeral, in some of the programmes before matches there was a special voucher which meant you could go to his funeral, I felt extremely privileged to be at the anglican cathedral that day, I still have the order of service to this day.
