Bill Shankly
Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place, son. (to Kevin Keegan)
Bill Shankly
Fire in your belly comes from pride and passion in wearing the red shirt. We don't need to motivate players because each of them is responsible for the performance of the team as a whole. The status of Liverpool's players keeps them motivated.
Bill Shankly

Bill Shankly
The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!
