[@robin231176]

I am no Liverpool fan, but I could listen to this man's wisdom for hours on end.

[@MichaelKing-tt7rj]

A Man Utd fan here I could listen to Shanks all day these guys aren't around anymore a pure class act.!!!

[@FrancisMcmillan-on5jw]

He's the greatest man, he started it, educated it, adored by Bob, Joe, Ronnie, Roy, Ruben, the list is endless and now Jurgen has arrived to be the modern Shanks, but the 1st Jurgen Klopp, an endless foundation, thanks for being Scousers, Adored by us all, Words can't explain, ❤We Are LFC and We Never Walk Alone

BILL SHANKLY Football Interview 'Football - More Important Than Life & Death' 1976 1612pm 12.6.24 "it's more important than that" is the eternal mantra of fan who wanders from pillar to post watching any game they please. as opposed to taking the infantile and restricting tribal lines...

[@GuyTunes]

I`m a Walsall supporter, but was well aware of Bill Shankly and his Liverpool side, as a young boy. I always admired the approach to football, Liverpool`s Boot Room, the sweatbox used by the players in training. That vibrance and vigour has carried on right through to Arne Slot of the present day. A model club above all others.

[@StevanBarry]

The greatest of the 3 Kings... Stein.... Busy and Shanks....

[@robertbrown7408]

Busby Shanks,Stein, and Ferguson. All Scots !!!

[@stewartkendrick9652]

I'm a Villa supporter but watching this you'd run through a brick wall for him as a player.

[@balazseszes8032]

I find it sad that this kind of mentality will never be within the game anymore.... Of course, times do change, but as a person who was born in the 90's, I find it extremely inspiring, chilling to listen to the enthusiasm, the passion and the will, not only Shankly, but a lot of players and managers then, had in them. This is when you do realise the HUGE difference! between todays football, and the one in Shanklys time... I wish, that football nowdays was just a game.... Now, it is unfortunately, mainly business :( Respect to this man. Great drive and attitude he had. From a Chelsea Fan

[@vishy]

Shankly is wonderful to listen to

[@garylucas7050]

I loved Mavis she shows a great interest not just in the topic but the individual as well

[@deebee6600]

What a wonderful man .. person .. role model. Not an ounce of maliciousness. A twinkle in his eye, a smile on his lips, as honest and genuine and humorous a being as you could ever love to be associated with. God bless you Mr Shankly, rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon you.

[@johnquinn6442]

THE BEST OF ALL TIME.. SIMPLY THE GREATEST

[@gadaboutunited]

Could listen to him and Busby all day - pure football knowledge and entertainment. RIP

[@ntulia.kapologwe9088]

The Legend....One of the best ever

[@davidhalkyard3609]

Liverpool are my clubs biggest rivals . All my clubs fans loved Bill Shankly . They also love Klopp he's todays version of Shankly .

[@Brentford-rf5sh]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that interview. I love how Mavis puts her questions to Mr Shankly and how he answered them will such enthusiasm - Mr Shankly all over.

[@rolo5424]

4.20 "When I was a boy if you had an overcoat you were a snob". :D lol... love it and that was true too. Brilliant.

[@ianrichardson5512]

One of the greats of anytime. I wished he’d managed my football club as he speaks and thinks as a real leader, not one of these so called managers who jump from club to club delivering mediocrity. He would have loved to work with some of the young talent in this country and they would have benefited from each other. Shankly is a legend.

[@tommydowling9]

True that mate.. they don't make them like Shanks anymore.

[@jerryoshea3116]

As a long suffering Spurs fan( living abroad) all I can do is Marvel and be totally 100% enamored,impressed by watching Shankly! He had this mystique and Guru quality about& the city of Liverpool should never forget what did for their community and football team! ..They broke the Mould!

[@WithoutJustice]

"Yea. It's a game to some people. But to me, as I told a man, it's more important than life itself." -Bill Shankly 1:21

[@bigbaz8314]

great questions from Kevin Keegan

[@cuibono6872]

"I want to die a healthy man" unfortunately he did, but definitely one of a kind, you do not get many Bill Shankly's to the pound, true legend and a great man. Absolutely love his take on fighting at the football, men like to have a fight, what a man, love him.

[@tonydevine7174]

One of my heroes of all time. Toe

[@brynteelingtheriverthieves3266]

What an incredible man

[@camilluschinbg4049]

2.30 his mother was a great person so as him.

[@incognitobrown7782]

Seems like a very good man. You can tell he is about the game and teammates, not about the money!

[@ashunknown9728]

Bill shankly.should be Scotland pm haha what a legend

[@mrdeafa25]

In common with Brian Clough, he was not just a great manager he was a great man too.

[@gaary1969]

Wise words from The Messiah

[@tommytong4154]

Great as the God for Liverpool FC

[@suffern63]

At 3:50 the typical comment of everyone,players were better when I was young.Of course,Shankly's opinion is more interesting than that of Gary Lineker,for example.

[@isabelhyndshaw786]

Of Who?

[@isabelhyndshaw786]

Not at all😁

[@sskradmelder]

INTERVIEW MASTER CLASS..ask your question,listen to the answer and respond.Mavis was the best.Anyone else find her strangely attractive?

[@justice-97]

My messiaha

[@Red-Revolution708]

Don’t forget Bob Paisley he won the CL 3 times.

[@grantjacob7327]

Bob Paisley won 3 (European Cups),when to qualify You had be (Champions) of Your country. Since the 1990s the competition was renamed the (Champions League,when You could finish 2nd,3rd,4th and in some cases 5th).

[@kingarthurusatenniscoach1415]

what an attractive beautiful woman Mavis is

[@UK_Stuboy]

I was truly born in the rong generation my mindset is exactly like this gerneration now im an outsider 😂😂

[@y1521t21b5]

Yes indeed! *_YN🔴WA_*

[@stewartmair8645]

Is that a goal?

[@sicks6six]

Your team was loosing 2 0 and with 5 minutes to go they score their 3rd making it 3 2 that feeling can't be got anywhere but the bit of terracing your standing on. Or so it used to be back then. It's all changed now. Season tickets. Club shops full of stuff. Credit card football.

[@kimwild5390]

Quote: What’s wrong with a good fight? …….

[@imamshamil5185]

Wrong. Football is not more important than life and death.

[@BabaG2016]

"Football more important than life and death" well that quote didn't age well. 😕

[@Robert-nz3te]

Agree. Now you get a lot of talentless, unethical, uneducated fellas earning millions with no respect for the fans who pays them.

[@lunchbox7440]

NOT

[@isabelhyndshaw786]

More shankly

[@johncallan333]

His honesty is so refreshing in today's convoluted world.
