Bill Shankly interview | Liverpool football club | Scotland | 1976

Learn your history, liverpool had a lot of first division championships under they're belt before they got relegated to division 2, similar things happened at most clubs united, city, dont get me wrong shankly built a dynasty but to say liverpool were nothing before him is disrespectful to all the managers and players achieved before shankly.

They had a humanity and a imposing dignity that cause them to really stand out. In Life, They were Marvelous!

A United fan here from a family of working class United fans. Liverpool are the team I hate the most, they are United's only genuine rivals, so I hate and respect them and their achievements.The first football book I ever read was Shankly's autobiography when I was about 9 or 10. The man was a genius, a hero, a leader, and a visionary. When you watch this video what comes across is how thoroughly decent, honest and driven he was, with the charisma of a film star. I imagine the Liverpool players would have run through brick walls for him. I look at modern 21st century football with its wealth and corruption and it disgusts me. RIP Bill Shankly you were one of the true greats.

[@StephenButlerOne]

john tudor hallelujah the second half of that final is fantastic. The football played by Liverpool is fast-paced pressing, counter footy, very much like today's team. People say the game is totally different now, and that players then couldn't keep up. Well that second half, with a lead weight ball, says differently. It must be hard for you to look back to that era when Newcastle was the team, and them Liverpool the new boys and underdogs, to what you have now 😒 I hope you lot get a buyer soon, as I cant see Rafa staying if the ownership isn't sorted out. Rafa didn't have to stay after you went down, no one would have blamed him, as he was given the impossible task to keep you up, in 8 games iirc (i was at Anfield when we drew iirc, your fans was great that day) However, he stayed, brought you back up, and Ashley just fucked him, and the team over. If you lose Rafa, I do fear for Newcastle's future. He is the only thing the club has to go going for it atm. Well that, the great ground and your paying supporters. they have also been fucked over. It's ironic we (or I ) speak of Ashely, with his zero hour contracts, and fuck everyone approach, under a video of Bill talking of the socialist side of the football. Where did the days go? If you ain't got an oil baron owner, the chances of rising to the top are slim. So for that respect, we (Liverpool ) hope your new owner isn't too rich. 👍

What a find. Is it me but interviewers then got much more out of the people they were talking to. But nobody would have a problem with Shanks would they.

[@markkavanagh7721]

Philip Curnow she was a great interviewer she asked him an open question and allowed him to speak...not like today's interviewers who interview to an agenda

[@deannelson1388]

@David Jones yeah you can clearly see she is interested in the conversation by the questions she asks, really genuine. not like today's false fake plastic 'journalists'

[@Thorny5718]

Because like most idiots today they all have bloody agendas!! This woman seems genuinely interested and letting him speak. However you didn’t do well stopping Shanks talk or be bad mannered?,

[@Veaseify]

Michael Parkinson once said that Peter Ustinov was 'Gods Gift To Chat Show Hosts' but it could equally apply to Shankly in a different way...

[@lilacmaninapurpleworld538]

Shanks and Maradona kicking back. 2 legends.

[@soul2soultv840]

the legends never dies .. shanks made lfc thank you for everything ..RIP We will never forget you and ynwa ..

[@elmacca]

Absolutely fascinating man...the way he talked about getting all the details - how to train, how to get the best out of every bone- legend was a sports scientist before it even became a thing wasn't he...he would have hated new generation egos and wasters...would have murdered us.

[@FolkinAround]

What an exemplary man who oozes candour.

[@kurakura3475]

Yes Lawd, the greatest of all time 💪💪

[@campbellwatson5636]

What a twinkle in his eye and voice.

[@yannich1991]

I am so deeply grateful for this man and to him for what he did!

[@charitysimon-peraboh5555]

My first time ever of hearing this man speak, i can see why he was so successful. very special personality

[@chasmontgomery-larson476]

My hero. An absolute legend. The greatest man whoever walked the earth.

[@edmundpower1250]

Great interview ,,,,many thanks

[@doesnotexist305]

This sort of man doesn't exist anymore. Simultaneously a man of his time and ahead of his time in perfect symmetry.

[@Juststartingout768]

Trains and wants to be super fit and dies of a heart attack only a couple of years later. Gone too soon. But, with his mentality he would leave the likes of Pep and Mourinho in his wake. He built from the ground up, an organic growth. The two greatest managers over the last few years spend spend spend and leave you wondering if Mo/Pep could take say a Leeds Utd to greatness without being state-owned or spending half a billion on a team. Shanks, Busby, Stein, Ferguson, Clough, all geniuses that the modern day manager would be proud to learn from.

I am 50 years old. Everyone in my family from my grandfather and father are great fans of LFC. Bill, you will never walk alone. RIP sir.

[@toddtomato]

even though im a united fan,i would do anything for shanks on a football field ,because you can trust him

[@PeterJones-sj3uw]

What a wonderful interview, can you name a manager today with such charisma, such principles and such charm. A true socialist and a man of the people.

[@paul-ok7uw]

I will be completely honest, I'm in the Joey Barton camp, but if this was a bloke interviewing this legend I'm sure he wouldn't have brought out the best of Bill, like she did.

[@scally1969]

The rock on which everything Liverpool Football Club is, was built

[@daviel6595]

As a scot this is the first time heard bs speak. Sound like great man from little village

[@tomredaintdead9575]

Proper man. The world needs more men like this. Still remembered Mr. Bill Shankly

[@rishimohiputlall1167]

What a man. What a coach. What a legend. Respect

[@richardsharpe2966]

This interview is a gem both Bill Shankly and Sir Matt Busby were great friends and worked down pit to

[@richardsharpe2966]

@P N What Bill Shankly said to Jock Stein when Celtic won the Europen Cup You know John you're imortal

[@stancleary9385]

Brilliant, to listen to a GREAT man !

[@TrooperLFC]

an interview you will never hear today. possibly the greatest interview with a football manager. cheers Shankly!

[@stewartsavage1123]

Thanks Bill, your were bastion of invincibility

[@KelanBrowneMusic]

Most people say Ronaldinho made them fall in love with football, but this is the man who made “real football”, and made me fall in love with the beautiful game.

[@sandymack9345]

Bill Shankly. Charm, Charisma,humility. A true Legend of football. Class.♥️⚽♥️

[@jozefserf2024]

What a fantastic human being. Mavis Nicholson was pretty special too!
