With him in defense, we could play Arthur Askey in goal. (after signing Ron Yeats)
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
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
I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
Bill Shankly
Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.
Bill Shankly
Although I'm a Scot, I'd be proud to be called a Scouser.
