If you can't support us when we lose or draw, don't support us when we win
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
Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.

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
Train the right way. Help each other. It's a form of socialism without the politics.
Bill Shankly
Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.
Bill Shankly
I was the best manager in Britain because I was never devious or cheated anyone. I’d break my wife’s legs if I played against her, but I’d never cheat her.
Bill Shankly
A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.
Bill Shankly
He's not just the best centre-forward in the British Isles, but the only one. (about Ian St John)
Bill Shankly
Its great grass at Anfield, professional grass.
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
I'm a people's man - only the people matter.
