Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place, son. (to Kevin Keegan)

It's a 90 minute game for sure. In fact I used to train for a 190 minute game so that when the whistle blew at the end of the match I could have played another 90 minutes.
Bill Shankly
I'm a people's man - only the people matter.
Bill Shankly
I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
Bill Shankly
The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.
Bill Shankly
Its great grass at Anfield, professional grass.
Bill Shankly
Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.
