here are some classics i recall:

"If he had gunpowder for brains he couldn't blow his cap off"

"Brian Clough's worse than the rain in Manchester. At least God stops that occasionally"

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

In an argument with Tommy Smith....

" Anything that a Man is, is inborn. If he's a football man he's been born with that in him. I had four brother's and they were all professional players. My Mother's brothers were all professionals, too. It's been hereditary.

Football's an inborn thing, Nobody makes players except Mothers and Fathers. Not coaches!, Time matures players but doesn't make them".

A Shankly philosophy;

He's right of course the following prove it;

Biscan
Cheyrou
Diomede
Diouff
Diao
Dundee
Ferri
Kippe
Medjani
Meijer
Smicer
Traore
Vignal

All in GH's reign....So much for so called Coaches!

Hey Dalglish, this is Shanks' bit of this forum ! ( Really SORRY I Started the GH bit)!

OK, I'm off on one again but at least I got a Shanklyism in there as well! lol.

Whilst at Huddersfield and speaking to future World Cup Winner Ray Wilson;

3-0 Down at half time, "I've never seen three luckier Goals, You're Murdering them, .. I'm amazed they have'nt called the Police"!

Bill Shankly (to a translator, when being surrounded by gesticulating Italian journalists):
"Just tell them I completely disagree with everything they say!"

I find it refreshing to think about a man who really did communicate with the supporters and gave me, as a kid growing up in Liverpool, a fantastic feeling of pride in the team and the City.
I know some of you like the Shanks stories that I have posted - here's one of my favourites;

During a practice match at Melwood, Shanks scored a goal. When the other players insisted it was offside, he turned to Chris Lawler, one of the quietest members in the squad. 'Was it a goal? he demanded, 'Was I offside?
'Yes, Boss, you were, replied Lawler.
Shanks looked at him in disbelief:
'Chris, you've been here for four years and have never said a word and when you do it's a bloody lie!'

Wonderful!

Just thought I would resurrect a post that might remind people why we support Liverpool Football Club .
