Shanks

[LeTallecWiz]

On this day in 1981, Liverpool FC and the football world mourned the loss of the legendary Bill Shankly, the man who built the foundations of the club we see today.

He will never be forgotten.

 

[Judge Jules]

The colossus on whose shoulders *everyone* else associated with the club, from Bob Paisley to the humblest fan, has been privileged to stand.

William James Shankly YNWA.

I'm gutted I was never alive when he was around, his post/pre match interviews must have been fantastic, such a brilliant speaker.

I remember my Dad's sadness when he quit. I remember being on the school bus when the news said he'd died. A unique man. A man of truth. A man of vision, hard work, belief and one of the least hypocritical men who ever lived. Misses to this day. A hero to me all my life and an inspiration.
