More quotes by Bill Shankly
Laddie, that man scored 200 goals in 270 matches - an incredible record - and he has won cup after cup as a manager. When he talks, pin back your ears.
Bill Shankly
I’ve been a slave to football. It follows you home, it follows you everywhere, and eats into your family life. But every working man misses out on some things because of his job.

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
Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory, and who built up a family of people who could hold their heads up high and say 'We're Liverpool'.
Bill Shankly
Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
Bill Shankly
We absolutely annihilated England. It was a massacre. We beat them 5-4.
Bill Shankly
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 was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
Bill Shankly
Although I'm a Scot, I'd be proud to be called a Scouser.

First is first,Second is nothing
Bill Shankly
At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks.
