In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
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
If you can't support us when we lose or draw, don't support us when we win
Bill Shankly
The very word 'Anfield' means more to me than I can describe.
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.
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
Yes, Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.
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.

Just go out and drop a few hand grenades all over the place, son. (to Kevin Keegan)
Bill Shankly
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’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
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
Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.
Bill Shankly
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
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'm a people's man - only the people matter.
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.
