More quotes by Bill Shankly
I have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool. It is scandalous that I should have to write these things about the club that I helped build into what it is today.

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
First is first,Second is nothing
Bill Shankly

Bill Shankly
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
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
The problem with you, son, is that all your brains are in your head. (to a Liverpool trainee)
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.
Bill Shankly
I want to build a team that's invincible, so that they have to send a team from bloody Mars to beat us.
Bill Shankly
With him in defense, we could play Arthur Askey in goal. (after signing Ron Yeats)
