Bill Shankly
If a man….who’s playing in front of the public, is being well paid, and he doesn’t dedicate himself to the job, I’d be hard on him. If I could I would put him in jail, out of the road of society. Because he’s a menace
Bill Shankly
Ian Callaghan is everything good that a man can be. No praise is too high for him. Words cannot do justice to the amount he has contributed to the game. Ian Callaghan will go down as one of the game's truly great players.
Bill Shankly
Train the right way. Help each other. It's a form of socialism without the politics.
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
