Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place, son. (to Kevin Keegan)
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
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
If he isn't named footballer of the year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to Kremlin. (on Tommy Smith)
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
We absolutely annihilated England. It was a massacre. We beat them 5-4.
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.

I have always had the deepest respect for Bill Nicholson as a person and as a manager. The Spurs boss is an honest Yorkshireman and you will go a long way before finding a straighter character than that. Bill has never wavered in his determination to give White Hart Lane fans the best.
Bill Shankly
I'm a people's man - only the people matter.
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
If you get to the edge of the penalty area with the ball and don't know what to do next, just stick the ball in the net for now. We can evaluate the other options later.
Bill Shankly
The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!
Bill Shankly
The problem with you, son, is that all your brains are in your head. (to a Liverpool trainee)
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
Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
Bill Shankly
If you can't support us when we lose or draw, don't support us when we win
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.
