      Fantastic .

      Hope it educates the masses about the great man and what all the fuss was all about.

      Any Liverpool supporter who was not around in the Bill Shankly days (and the old standing KOP )  you will never know what you missed.

      There was Bill Shankly, the Kop chorus, a pulsating Anfield and success guaranteed,  Seems light years away.
      Frankly, Mr Shankly

      Great news. BBC to screen football documentary that isn't about Phil Neville's kinky obsession with turnips or whatever pathetic excuse they can find to screen something Manc related.

      This is on BBC 2 Scotland tomorrow night. Is it on elsewhere across the UK?

      No, but if you have sky, bbc 2 Scotland is channel 970 at 9 and can be viewed nationwide if you get my drift

      Good you noted that. If people don't have it on Sky then it will be available on iplayer. It's a real shame that the BBC won't broadcast it nationally.

      All the bigwigs from FSG should be made to watch every second of the Bill Shankly documentary.Hopefully they will see what a club like Liverpool can achieve when a good manager has the backing of the board and a good secretary.

      Did he always have the backing of the board though? Famously he'd fall out with them and resign once a year over disagreements with the  board.

      His famous holy trinity was a dig at the board in all essence


      Not enough to spell his name right though 😁

      My memories of Bill Shankly are he always had the backing of T.V.Williams and Peter Robinson and as I recall we were all shocked when Bill Shankly resigned.I recall that famous quote of his that the board are only there to sign the cheques when buying players.

      Just watching this now on BBC I-Player, brilliant documentary and some excellent points made by contributors when comparing the game Shankly was involved in to the business it his today.

      I played on the right wing for Lister Utd in the Tuebrook Junior League u12's,u14's then u16's..must've been 75-77
      We were a top team and a great bunch of lads.
      Year after year we'd be up there fighting for trophies.
      In my final u16's game in the May we played in a final at Three Butt Lane,family and friends in attendance and none other than Sir Bill Shankly was to be honoury guest and would be not only watching the game but he would be presenting the trophy to the winning team..
      Guess what?
      We got beat :(
      so you can imagine how gutted I was going up to collect my runner up medal from Sir Bill..
      At full time I stood in line and in tears as we went up one by one..
      Dressed in his immaculate tweed blazer with his windsor knot red tie he shook my hand and nearly crushed it! :laugh:
      looked me in the eye and said
      "You were brilliant today son, I was watching you up and down that wing full of spirit ,your mum n dad must be proud of you"

      Always remember that..

      His attention to detail became the foundation of our legacy
      Shankly's devotion and game knowledge mixed with the rest of the boot room boy's was and will always remain the envy of world football.

      As a lifelong supporter of this great club of ours I'm indescribably proud to have had a tiny minuscule connection with this great man during my lifetime.
