Shankly

[@raymondmcdonald355]

Shanks was the greatest ever British manager. He was loved by all of his players. It would have been a pleasure to play football for that man. He would however have hated Modern football with its corruption and greed. Shankly was like every Scottish boy, and like the Queens Park motto he played for the love of the game. God bless the Shanks. We will never see your likes again.

[@stevenfitzsimmons3840]

Yes he was a great human being and all the teams were great iam greek but I grew up with all the English football of the 60s and 70s we had only 2 channels but every weekend we had all English football highlights of all the teams now I am 58 years old how I miss those days

He certainly was 😉👍

[@lfclegendunluckyyylucas7275]

What a legend he is Bill Shankly 15 years years as Liverpool manager made us the best team in the world in the 70s to early 90s then in 1992 Sky and BPL came along with their Money and destroyed English football forever FACT it's a shame we won't see that passion anymore in the game but I hope Jurgen Klopp who does have passion for the game can give are Liverpool player's what this club is all about and the game.

[@religisdang]

Do Liverpool fans know Bill had a brother that was almost as famous as his brother, Bob Shankly took Dundee F.C. to there only League championship win in the early sixties also took Dundee to the European cup, (as it was called in those days) semi finals, in 1962, Dundee won first leg at home, but we're beaten in second leg to eventual Winners Inter Milan amongst much jiggery Pokery in Italy..anyway awesome achievement for a provincial Scottish team, Dundee gave German champs 8-1 at Dens, amongst other great results on way to Semis, Bob Crampsey renowned and respected football brain in Scotland said the Dundee team at that time, in his view best Scottish team since war including Celtics Lisbon loins...God bless Bob Shankley.

[@mizofan]

Thanks for the info about Bob. Ah, that was when Alan Gilzean was a prolific scorer- many today are unaware of that excellent team

[@andrewburne7591]

El jock, it was A.C milan that beat Dundee in the semi's not inter, and it was 63. Nice bit of info on bob though

[@fifermcgee5971]

Bill was the youngest of 5 boys, all 5 were professional footballers. Wish we knew more about the other 4 brothers.

[@joebarnes100]

Nice one i didn't know that.

[@seltaeb3302]

Dundee also played Leeds Utd in the Fairs Cup (morphed into the EUFA Cup) in 1968 but lost. Nothing has been preserved sadly. Also Dundee UtD & Dundee FC are the closest grounds in the world ie just across the road & down a few yards.

REdawn LiveBirds ..great comment ! He WAS a true legend.

[@murchuan8782]

i am a united fan but this is brilliant, brillant, particularly the last 10 minutes that show snippets of his interviews and the nuggets of wisdom... some poignant words, "it cost me my family time", keeping things simple, the use of big words, which he abhorred, alot of that stuff has now come to pass in modern football speak, unfortunately....stories by the ex players, fantastic... i watch all the documentaries on the great managers, paisley, shankly, clough, dalglish, fergusson, busby, revie, stein, the foreign managers, trapp, dutch mgr of 70s,common thread through them all, geat judgement of character, kept things very simple, clear,

[@2005peasah]

Although am a non-Liverpool fan, Bill Shankly was a remarkable manager at Liverpool.3 league titles, 2 FA cups and one cup in Europe.Bill Shankly left too early, forty-three years ago, but you got to respect the man.Shankly allowed Paisley to continue the Liverpool dominance which I envy, but the Mersey club were unstoppable under Shankly, Paisley and Dalglish.

[@parisstromatias637]

And as Liverpool fan I have to shankly paisley and Dalglish but I give 10 out of 10 for Alex Ferguson and his Manchester United fair and square

[@NotSoRandom_]

Paris Stromatias he couldn’t do in 20 years what Paisley did in 5 years: 3 European Cups

[@poundshopcicero3089]

@@NotSoRandom_ He built the club up and laid the foundation for those who followed him and made Liverpool Britain's greatest club side.

[@seltaeb3302]

During the Shanks period it was Bob Paisley behind the scenes that done the tactics & selected players to be bought, Shanks was the heart that made Liverpool beat but Paisley was the brain & that's why when Shankley retired Paisley just carried on & it was business as usual & Shankley was cold shouldered by Paisley as he was now fully in charge & he didn't want any distractions & he was right, Bill was out & Bob was now in. The rest is history & without Paisley during the Shankley period they wouldn't have won as much as they did with him.

[@BueyBuey-rv8cx]

Everton treated him better than Liverpool directors did !

[@rockriff8889]

[@eddiepower3876]

[@2005peasah]

Shankly definitely was a great man who wasn't arrogant and as he rightly said that he wanted to see Liverpool as conquerors of Britain and the world as a whole.3 league titles, 2 F.A. cups and one cup in Europe. It's no wonder that Shankly wanted Paisley his assistant to continue where he left off.As an Arsenal fan, I like Liverpool, because they were moral, mature and mild and the city love their football too.

[@danvoke2673]

How to win less than Anderson?

[@jaysea32]

Bob Paisley is the most successful manager in Liverpools history. But it was Shankleys brilliant Liverpool team he took on and added to. Shankley built the club into a monster of the late 60s and all through the 70s and 80s. He is Mr Liverpool.

[@danvoke2673]

Man Utd dominated the 50s and 60s mate. Liverpool won 2 titles and an FA Cup. Calm down. Shankly has won less trophies than Anderson. And besides, Sir Alex Ferguson won more than Shankly and Paisley put together!

[@danvoke2673]

No idea what you tried to say there mate. I assume like most scousers, an education alluded you?

[@danvoke2673]

Why do you repeat your comments twice? Are you ill? Come back when you have 20 and more than 60 trophies.

[@CHRISDABAHIA]

Dan Voke Liverpool - 5, Manchester United - 3; (Sir) Bob Paisley - 3, Fergie - 2; Bob + Shanks - 24 years, Fergie - 27 years. Liverpool is the most successful British club in European competition. That's a fact. Manchester United has never, ever dominated Europe; Liverpool did.

[@CHRISDABAHIA]

Dan Voke Oh, and as for the 'more trophies than Shankly and Paisley', that is true. You cannot compare, though, because Liverpool was not even in the First Division when Shankly took over. The club was in a mess when he arrived, which can hardly be said for Manchester United. Underachieving, maybe, but not a complete shambles of a club.

i realise this is a video about Shankly, one of the true greats given what he achieved after starting off with next to nothing, but i can't help noticing that Leeds team in the 1965 FA cup final - included players like Sprake, Bremner, Hunter, Reaney, Charlton, Giles who were still playing for the club when they won the first division a full nine years later. Impossible to imagine a group of players in the modern era staying together like that. OK, back to the video about Liverpool.

[@SuperWright66]

We didn't call him a God for nothing and 46 years later 2020 and we have been blessed once more with a manager who has so many characteristics and effect not only on the players but on every liverpudlian blessed to be born in liverpool but around the world believe me as i'm old enough to have felt the emotion of what shankly made the people feel like and Klopp is the only manager since who has that same magic

[@jamesfoley4832]

GOAT! Shanks the legend, god, saviour, messiah you name it that was him. Some people say that football is a matter of life and death. I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you that it is much much more important than that. I am an Evertonian and I respected him although I loved it when we thrashed him and them 4-0 at Anfield in September 1964. The biggest humiliation was the season after when we went back to Anfield and lost 5-0 although it is best not to think about that. Prior to him we were and still was the big club on Merseyside but by the early Seventies this no longer the case. In terms of success and trophies them lot became better than us but not in terms of supporters either in quality or quantity.
