Bill Shankly-The Man Who Made Liverpool | AFC Finners | Football History Documentary

[@polarbear109p2]

Nice video! I’ve became fascinated by the man. Just read the book “It's Much More Important Than That” and just can’t get enough of listening to the man on KZbin. I stay about an hour away from Glenbuck, I plan on visiting the memorial the next time I’m hillwalking in the Southern uplands.

Bill Shankley Well no words can describe what this man did for Liverpool rough as hell but what a man, just mention his name in Liverpool and watch the reaction ❤❤❤❤❤

[@liverpoolpictorial]

A very touching tribute to the greatest man I ever met, apart from my Dad.

[@afcfinners]

I’m insanely jealous you met him, how’d it come about?

[@paulfitzpatrick6536]

Jesus what a post ❤

[@allangow4746]

Shanks was a true great, everyone in football respects him. I am a United fan man and boy, however I believe we should all recognise the brilliance of Bill Shankley.

[@afcfinners]

Absolutely, knew exactly what football meant, a true treasure

[@Lord_Hillcrest]

Im a Leeds United fan since 1970 , great games with Leeds , Shankly and Revie were great men and the top two managers of that era .

[@seltaeb3302]

Bill Shankly & Bob Paisley made Liverpool , Bill was the heart & Bob was the brain in tactics & getting the right players. When Bill resigned then Bob just stepped up & that ship sailed on. Without Paisley the Liverpool trophy room would have been much less. It was early on a double act with Bill the Joker with the quips & Bob the straight man providing the right lines.

[@alincirstescu4732]

Don't know why,this video made me cry,I'm almost 40 ..🥺🥺,Shankly lives FOREVER, YOU NEVER WALK ALONE!

[@Ben-u5x]

Thank you Bill Shankley. YNWA TRUE LEGEND ❤❤❤

[@ianbrunt9605]

If I could go back in time and meet one person, it would be shanks ! Legend

[@afcfinners]

I would have loved to have met him for just 5 minutes, would have changed my life

[@garethevans4597]

[@mcharrisment4765]

[@afcfinners]

Thanks so much buddy, hopefully more subs will follow

[@mattbutler3852]

A brilliant documentary thank you

[@afcfinners]

Cheers pal

[@cuibono6872]

Wonderful to watch a genuinely researched and man made video, not some AI concocted dross with little resemblance to reality, more power to ya.

[@afcfinners]

Thanks very much, one of my proudest videos this so that means a lot

[@redmustangredmustang]

The sad thing is Shankly knew he had to retire because the stress got to his body. A doctor must have told him either retire or suffer a heart attack within the next few years. Either way, Shankly built the foundation to make the team the BEST in Europe of the mid 70's and early 80's when it came to European Cup success. He had Bob Paisley as a great successor that didn't mess up the formula and allowed the team to continue winning and and be successful all those years. Without Shankly, Liverpool never become the big club especially European Cup winners later on. HE LAID THE FOUNDATION, I can't stress that enough .

[@afcfinners]

You’re right and history is repeating itself with Klopp it seems. You’re spot on, Liverpool would be next to nothing without Shankly

[@redmustangredmustang]

@@afcfinners then Bob Paisley took that foundation and won 20 trophies in 9 years which is amazing onto it self. Liverpool had that good formula and Paisley was able to build upon it with Souness, Hansen, and Dalglish in 1977.

[@afcfinners]

@@redmustangredmustang yeah often that continuity plan doesn’t work but in that case it was incredible, to have that level of success sustained with the succession plan over 30 years is incredible

[@jasxx1108]

Amazing 🤩 video

[@gavinmillar7519]

Great documentary. Well presented and interesting.

[@afcfinners]

Thanks pal, one of my favourites that I’ve made

[@JC-jy9lm]

Great content

[@Nathan-ke3dn]

Another fantastic video mate

[@afcfinners]

Thank you!

[@HenrikCOYG]

Great video, great manager🙌🏼

[@afcfinners]

Thank you!

[@jonhunter8737]

Shame how the club treated him at the end of his years. He spent more time at Belfield, Everton's training ground, and teaching kids in West Derby a few training tips

[@mattbutler3852]

Unfortunately Liverpool had no choice as every time Paisley gave an instruction the players would look to Shankly to see that is was all right. Mat Busby had retired from Man United and cost at least two managers their job. I was lucky enough to have met the great man. Come on the Redmen.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

@mattbutler3852 Yep. Initially, Shanks used to come to the training sessions and the players still kept calling him "Boss" which undermined Paisley. That could not continue. As much as I love Shanks it was he who decided to quit. The club didn't. If you quit then you quit. You don't then still come round like all was normal.

[@snorf5]

Yooooo keep it up dude, well done!

[@afcfinners]

Thank you

[@souryatanusaha6681]

Err wasn't it Matt Busby responsible fir getting Bill the job? Shanks was a great and a fantastic man

[@ArjunGhag-ix7te]

Please do similar top docs on Bob Paisley & Brian Clough & Kenny Dalglish & Joe Fagan & Sir Alf Ramsey. You will get huge views & likes

[@afcfinners]

Great minds think alike, I’ve done ones ones on Paisley & Fagan, the Fagan one is one of my favourites I’ve made. Kenny is a good shout, will add him to the list. Got ones on Clough & Ramsey too

[@brendanfearon7677]

Some say" God" we say Shankly

[@philipcrichton4839]

👏

[@ianbrunt9605]

29th of September he died, not December

[@malcolmmawer4367]

Made a classic error and got sacked !!!

[@iancognito6920]

nobody like him

[@steveheckle8847]

And to think after he retired he was more welcome at Everton than the redshite
