Shankly died in 81, I was born in 94. I never walked the earth at the same time as the man and yet he inspires me so much. What a legend.

[@Dante-vf4sd]

I was born in 81

[@zgeneralleez1981]

I was born in 81 feel the same he would still make it in today's game as he is a true leader that I would follow in all aspects of life

[@philruane5910]

I saw his team, i saw him, i was born in 65, his testimonial game, the football world turned out that night. I met n spoke to him once when i was 9 or 10 yr old .

[@Bdoc76]

Neither was I and I'm a United fan, this man was and remains one of the very greatest. I'm obsessed with him, Stein, Busby and Clough. Unreal characters.

[@stuplant6693]

That's what he has done for Liverpool. We all feel connected to him it's unreal

The world would be a better place if there were more men like Bill Shankly, and that's from an Evertonian.

[@sarthakxlfc]

“I have drummed it into our players time and again that they are privileged to play for you and if they didnt believe me they believe me now” - Bill Shankly. These words made me teary eyes

[@jarvis1508]

One could argue that Klopp has drilled a similar mentality into the current lads as well. I think Shankly would be immensely proud of Klopp

[@sarthakxlfc]

Jarvis Morris cant agree more mate. I am certain Shankly would be so proud looking at the club, the players and everyone associated with it.

[@kevinwilliams1421]

I’ve seen the new academy...believe me Klopp is overseeing a legacy

Same here. Its a great feeling having respect for other people. So many people have missed out not listening to this guy.

When i listen to Shankly it makes the hairs on back of neck stand up, if ever there was anyone to look up to in life it's surly him, and one tough bastard he was too! My favorite quote of his was " football is a simple game complicated by fools" how right he was!

[@shaundooley87]

he made liverpool the team they are. laid the foundations. we would be still in div 1 if he never came along. he made liverpool 2nd most succesfulll team in england. 18 leagues 5 european cups. Wouldnt of been possible if shankly never came along and transformed us. he built an institution, dynasty. very few britih managers have done that. Pailey won the european cup with liverpool and more id still rank shankly higher. retired too early, i think he regreted it in the end.

What a Character..A trually modern day messiah..Totally Authentic and cared so much about the People of Liverpool..i'm a Spurs fan and they also a Tremendous Manager and man Leading the Club,Bill Nicholson..But Bill Shankley was sumthing else..And not frightened to stand up and be counted,willing to cut through all the B.S and Bollocks..A total"force of Nature"

[@royroyston8480]

Shanks was a warrior poet. Along with Sir Matt and Jock, the best there ever was. From a United fan. Great to see that his spirit is alive and well in the defeat of the ESL. The vultures that want it won’t go away of course. But neither will we.

[@davidsandz2186]

"John, you're immortal!" was what Shanks said to Jock Stein in the Lisbon dressing room after Celtic won the European Cup in 1967...he was the only other manager who was at that game...as has been said many times, Shanks is a total legend...and like Jock Stein, Bill Shankly is also immortal.

[@1XRP589]

What a man......... Does anybody else see similarities in Klopp? When he talks you listen, the same sense of effortless respect. He also quotes similar principles and truths along with being a people person. Very rare to see a manager ego free these days, he deserves a trophy this year and I believe the players will deliver just that! YNWA

[@mohammedfaruki5368]

I was just thinking the same and read your comment. He reminds me of Klopp a lot. Talks a lot of sense and knows football inside out. What a true legend and inspiration!

Brilliant message mate. I feel the same about Klopp and Shankley. We are so lucky to have them both. YNWA.

[@ricorico6826]

The present world needs a Bill Shankly. Not just for football but for a role model for society. Today we have so much greed, hypocrisy that cuts through society. This was a man who lived by his principles. I shudder to think about what he'd make of the modern game, the likes of Sam Allardyce using the England job to make a bit more on the side of a already terrific wage. The media like to make us believe the era of the Premier league is such a superior game to the old days, well they can kid themselves all they want. The footballing side is debatable but the modern game has lost it's soul

[@stuartwilliams3104]

The best managers are all like that, Daryl: Bill Shankly, Matt Busby, Bill Struth, Bob Paisley, Jock Stein and Alex Ferguson...great managers, doesn't matter what team you pull for - there's a yardstick for what a great manager is and they meet that billing. Period, full stop.

Britain's greatest managers have something mutual. Honesty, commitment and respect. They first of all respect themselves, therefore they can respect others. Thankfully most of them were Scots.

He took LFC from the 2nd division to champions of England, FA Cup glory for the first time, and came close to making LFC the first English team to win the European Cup within a handful of years. In other words turned LFC into the giant we are today. He laid a foundation so solid that even when the club goes through a bad patch a manager can come in and rebuild a team on that foundation that is capable of winning trophies at the highest level. He was truly special.

Great man, great man. I'd love to know who his maternal Grandfather was ( Mother's Father ), as not every man takes after his father or fathers father. Bobby & Jack Charlton's mothers brothers were footballers ( maternal uncles ). Jack Charlton's father worked down the coal mines and resented Jack earning more as a young lad ( approx. 16 or 17 or 18 ) from football than the father did after a very hard week's work. Jack C. said that. But wait to you hear this: In Belfast there is a team called Glentoran. Well one of it's "scouts" Rejected Georgie Best as a very young boy footballer. The so called scout said George was too small lol He rejected one of The Great's lol Well maybe a year or two later a Manchester United "Scout" seen George Best and contacted Old Trafford with this: "I've Found A Genius".

[@FingersKungfu]

To compare Shankly to a modern figure, it is only possible to compare him with people like Steve Job. These are men who were more than what they were hired for; men with visions that were greater than their jobs. You wanted a manager and a CEO, but you hired a prophet - that is the closest thing with which you could compare Shanks and Job. Football is about entertainment but Shankly saw beyond entertainment and made it into something close to a religious institution. Job was appointed as a CEO of a completely American commercial company and turned it into something more, something that actually can be trusted and respected. You can always find an excellent manager/CEO who could deliver results and churn out profits. But it's more difficult to replace people like Shanks or Job. When they are gone, an institution dies with them. A football club goes back to be just a football club, and a company just a company.

[@mkrbrtsn1]

+thucydides Neo Good comments my friend, however the spirit of Shankly is still with the club. After he left we became more successful because the club had faith in the people around him like Paisley and Fagan. Mind you, I don't know if he could be a manager now with all the money and prima donna stars. He was all about old fashioned values like honesty, hard work, team spirit.
