More quotes by 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
I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
Bill Shankly
First is first,Second is nothing

Yes, Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.
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
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
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
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
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
Bill Shankly
Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place, son. (to Kevin Keegan)

The very word 'Anfield' means more to me than I can describe.
Bill Shankly
Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.
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
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
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
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
I have not been short of invitations to other clubs and have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool.
Bill Shankly
Train the right way. Help each other. It's a form of socialism without the politics.
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.
Bill Shankly
