Many thanks for posting this video. Happy times indeed... my boyhood hero was Sir Roger Hunt. The season he broke the goalscoring record held by Gordon Hodgson, he struggled to score at Anfield and finally broke the record at Chelsea. I went down to Melwood with a photo of the goal from the Liverpool Echo and whilst waiting for the 'team bus' to arrive, Ian St. John said to me 'eh son what you got there then? I showed him and he invited me onto the bus and Sir Roger signed the photo. Brilliant memory of a truly great player. YNWA ⚽️ 👍
That's obvious isn't it? Duh! From 1900 - 1959 we only got 5 League titles and 4 Division 2 titles From Shankly in 1960 till Klopp 2015, all the managers have won sumthin, even the retired Daglish won a League Cup and FA Cup runners up, except for Hodgson and Rodgers. Let that sink in for a moment son
He Was Great 👍 And Never Did Refuse To Sign Autographs To The Fans Of Any Football ⚽️ Club. He Was Of Course Bill Shankly The Legend Of Liverpool. And He Always Told The Players To Stop And Sign For The Fans Waiting For There Autographs. He Was So Brilliant To All Of Us Fans And Supporters Of Any Club We Support. He Wanted To Know About Other Players And Talk About Them. To Me He Was The Best Of Them All And Always Will Be My Favourite Manager Ever. And He’s Still My Favourite Legend Ever. Mr Bill Shankly SHANKS.
Reading "Red or Dead' the fictionalised account of his time at Liverpool. Shankly was a genuine football genius. I feel like his retirement eventually killed him. Thee Liverpool legend.
Jim Furnell may have been surplus to requirements as a goalkeeper at Liverpool but he was a great keeper, playing for Arsenal, Rotherham and Plymouth (where I used to watch him) until 1976. He is now 84 years old and is still remembered as Plymouth's greatest goalkeeper.
One of those if only's of history. Furnell was good, just bad luck with the finger gave Tommy his chance. I remember Jim going to Arsenal, then being replaced by Jimmy Rimmer, who then got replaced by Bob Wilson. Rimmer ended up with a championship and European cup winners medal at Villa (though was injured early in the final and replaced by a young Nigel Spink).
@@caeserromero3013 I supported Argyle after moving from Manchester so I remember Jimmy Rimmer as a top keeper, hardly ever used at United for many years because of Alex Stepney
Great storytelling with this footage and narration! Lot of footage I’ve never seen - love that of Roger Hunt and the others sipping champagne in the locker room.💚
Awesome video, and something that some of younger fans should see. I was aware of a lot of this stuff from reading everything i could over the years. But i bet there are plenty who dont as much as this. Thanks for uploading.
Fantastic video series. Can you do one on Valeriy Lobanovskyi and his Dynamo Kiev side, USSR national team and influence on the sport. Just recently found out about him and he was quite the manager.
I do plan on doing one eventually on Lobanovskyi because I find him one of the most interesting coaches in history, but probably not for a while. Because his tenure lasted so long, it's a bit difficult to plot out how to cover it as there's so many different iterations so it will take some time to plan out and structure
Bob Paisley was the brain behind the tactics & getting players. Shankly gave Liverpool the heart it needed & Bob Paisley was taciturn in character unlike Bill.
In the context of Shankly's early period at Liverpool, this is very good yet some of the film archive (rare and unseen) is out of context with some of the narrative ... overall good however it needs better editing.
Inverting The Pyramid is the one people always mention but that's more history, I'm not sure how useful that would be for actually learning. I think you would probably be better off reading blogs than books to actually learn tactics.
much of the story is in the Shanks Bio "much more important than that" or hs autobio "Shankly by Shankly" I read both, I lost one but have carried the other all over the world , as my "holy book" ..by the way the narrator needs to practice his pronunciation many words are scouse/celts & u pronounce like a southerner! ;)
I'm a football man who's been going to the football for almost 50 years now however I must confess that I'm not a fan, but more importantly, I despise the LFC fanbase. Modern day Liverpool fans are so fickle and arrogant. Tbh I could say exactly the same about other clubs especially Villa, Arsenal and The Scum from Bellend Road. "Most" LFC fans have no "real" understanding of their history and how important Shanks was to them. They rave about Paisley, Dalglish and Gerrard when none of them can hold a candle to the great man Bill Shankly. Without Shanks, Paisley would never have been as successful and Dalglish wouldn't have had the career he did at Liverpool. Same could easily be said for Gerrard. Shanks had the personality , grit, character and brains to move mountains and motivate men. None of the other 3 had those skills in such abundance! Then there's this political nonsense which is spouted by Liverpool fans nowadays. It's football, not politics. Tbf Glasgow Celtic are going down the same road and it's very sad. I know many Celtic fans who hate where their club and it's fanbase are headed. Someone needs to grasp the nettle @ Anfield before too much damage is done. They have very quickly become THE most hated club in England, boo-ing the National Anthem and worse boo-ing the minutes silence which was reduced to just over 25 seconds, when Queen Elisabeth died! How can a club who RIGHTLY expects silence to remember the 97 Hillsborough Victims, not show the same respect back? If Shanks was around today I can assure you it would not be tolerated!
It's a shame there isn't footage of the early days. I'm a relative of legendary Liverpool goalkeeper Elisha Scott . Great video by the way.

Shanks is honestly the most important figure in the club's history. Amazing manager and an even more amazing person.
Amen

What a hidden gem that was, hopefully the algorithm will bless you at some point

Crazy book that, one of the best and most unique experiences I’ve had reading
Cracking piece of work! Heard stuff on here I've never heard before and I'm a lifelong LFC fan.

Beautiful Documentary ❤
Well done - very very entertaining
Great video !
Magnificent!
Brilliant content. Well done, looking forward to more. You deserve way more subs!
15:54 never knew we signed Bob Dylan :) Mind you, Shanks knew the times, they were a changin :)
All Along the Kopp Tower ..... he saw a Spaniard and a German rider approaching and the winds begin to howl
Mate big thanks for this video Keep it up buddy YNWA

@@HoldingMidfield Take your time. That's why it needs to be done right because his influence on Modern Football is unrivalled to be honest.
Peter Thompson use to come over and grab a handful of my chocolate raisins my dad started taking me 62 63 season. I was 3 1/2. These where my gods.
Bob Paisley was the brain behind the tactics & getting players. Shankly gave Liverpool the heart it needed & Bob Paisley was taciturn in character unlike Bill.
Excellent narration. Keep up your high standards
The architect of Liverpool 's destiny
@@alexodonnell6191 is that all you got? Pity.
Wow! Dennis Law, Jack Charlton, Brian Clough and Dave Mackay. What a team that would have been if the board had been more ambitious.
More like the new fans are over enthusiastic
Sam Longson acted on two talents identified, and history was made.

The only team Liverpool really struggled against was Leeds United .
He was great man....and knew the game well.....probably 3rd to Busby and Stein
It started with Bill
Im really interested in learning football tactics, can please tell which books I could refer
Inverting The Pyramid is the one people always mention but that's more history, I'm not sure how useful that would be for actually learning.

@@HoldingMidfield I have read inverting the pyramid, also Michael Cox two books.

In the last 63 years of LFC history. Roy Hodgson 31 games and Brendan Rodgers 3½ seasons are full of shit. They didn't win anything.
