If it’s hard for you to fathom how great this man was. Let me tell you, Liverpool Football Club would not be the size and successful club it is today without him.
you are absolutely correct .L.F.C . i was a Copite in the 80's rush .johnson.whelan molby barnes grobb houghton beardsley venison.. oh and sir lord king keneth dalgish . 1974 fa cup newcastle utd ...thats what it for me
The greatest ever with out a doubt l was there in sixties about 64 onwards sorry boys pen bunked into kop climbing the girders and over the barbed wire yes barded wire on top of the fence seperating pen from kop as ive said before him an all liverpool managers yes all honesty integrity humanity and humanity they would get my vote for pm
As an Ayrshireman, I can attest to the fact that we all adore Shankly, even those who don’t support liverpool love the man because he exemplifies what we all strived for from working class mining communities
Same here, we are probably the same gereration. As Busby was the founder of the modern Man United, Shankly was the genius that founded Liverpool. Two truly great clubs, but if we lose to the 'scousers' I'm in mourning for a month; at least. Never had a problem with Liverpool supporters except, one day in a Liverpool pub in Litherland, we decided, self and 3 newly acquired drinking partners, to pick the best 11 from both teams. I had 9 MU in my team, as I knew the 3 'scousers' would have a minimum of 10 in theirs; I was wrong, they had all 11. One of the best nights, and arguments (very friendly) in my life; I think.
@@martinthomas5155 Bill Nic was for sure up there. He won while his team played entertaining football loved by the neutrals. That is something that Shanks, paisley, Fagen, Klopp etc, never did.
No manager can touch this man , i dont care what theyve won , this man started an institution not only managed a football club but turned that club into the giant it is today with his stamp well and truly ingrained in everything it stands for. His spirit lives today everytime you here the kop roar. Made us the mighty REDS ! god bless Shanks ..YNWA
I am an Evertonian but good people are good people and I really admire some of these Liverpool greats. Obviously Shankly but also the likes of Ian StJohn and Ron Yeats.
Great manager. His departure was interesting. Some players are on record as saying the relationship between Shankly and the board had deteriorated over his last few years and the board began to resent the fact "they signed the cheques" but Bill got the glory
Liverpool v Leeds FA Cup. My friend and I David planned to go to this game. In those days you mainly paid at the gate. Although we lived over the water on the Wirral, it isnt that far just 8 miles but nevertheless we set off very early as we new Anfield would be packed. We caught bus, train and bus arrived at the ground at 10 o'clock. We were well prepared hot and cold drinks and sandwiches (jam butties really). Eventually nature took it's course and I was desparate for a wee. On my weigh back feeling so relieved, a man from behind patted me on my head "Good morning son a bit early" It was Shankly. Even to this day I feeling like kicking myself. I was so in awe of the man I couldn't speak let alone ask for his autographThe way he spoke with his great Scottish grit. I remained open mouthed until getting back to David, who by this time was also kicking himself. We sat on the floor outside the Anfield road end, our Mums, bless them, wouldn't allow us to go into the Kop. A man appeared carrying several cameras who asked us how long had we been here. We told him and he took our photo and said "You be in The Liverpool Echo tonight boys" which we were. The game ended 0-0 Liverpool lost the replay, but what a day.
Speaking as a Spurs fan(A life long sufferer) I don't mind admitting if I see anything on the Net about this Legendary character I'm stopped in my Tracks! .To say he was fascinating and inspiring is totally understating his importance! ..And when I look at Politics&Politicians around the World(who are all self serving BS Artists,Liars and Hypocrites on all sides) You look at Bill Shankley and could easily imagine him as a major player in the Labour Party (The old school Party which represented the average working man&woman in the street & not today's pretentious 'Champagne Socialists') But enough of my Political rant!!&back to the football! What he did for Liverpool, paving the way for Bob Paisley(who was also a tremendous Manager) & today's Manager!.. And he gave the People of that Lancashire City, Pride in the Team &themselves!!. A true Legend...'They broke the Mold' So may his Soul rest in peace.
@@SKa-tt9nm There's not many well known people,( from past or present) who grab my attention Peter Ustinov did ( still does) because he was fascinating,multi talented& extremely witty&could laugh at himself..And then was Shankly who could command the stage without even trying & was always dignified
My dad actually met bill shankly and with him was Bobby charlton he asked for his autograph and the pen my dad gave him ran out half way through his signature my dad said can you sign it again and bill shankly said I never sign my name twice sonny and he pulled out a red pen out of his pocket and finished the signature in red ink and he still has the red pen and autograph to this day it was 1976 at anfield.
Big fan of Liverpool FC...I love n support LFC due to its great history... Steve.G, Jurgen Klop era n njoying 1st Arna Slot season..big fan 4rm Darjeeling India
People forget that when he took charge in 1959 Liverpool were in The Second Division ... They got into The First Division in 1962! ... he did many thigs, but One Stands Out! in the November of 1964 he changed the kit from white shorts and socks to All Red!.
Great video but I hate that none of these editors don't understand that the music should never derail from the speech. If that happens, then the speech won't land. Music needs to embrace the speech and not completely take over. Many moments where I had to hard focus on what was being said just because the music was so loud. I don't get it what's with this fascination with music over words. Makes no sense to me.
*_"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."_* It's the League Cup Final today at Wembley, Liverpool vs Chelsea. Come on lads, do it for Shankly, _and_ Paisley, and of course for Jürgen Klopp. #LFC #YNWA
It's so sad when at 25:08 where the fans are in shock and don't believe Shankly retired. He probably would have led Liverpool to those European Cup wins as well, but he laid the foundation for the team to DOMINATE the mid 70's and early 80's. He was the one that built that team up to be great and Bob Paisley was a wonderful caretaker that didn't mess up the formula. It's sad that stress like you saw with Klopp took so much of that great man. Some can handle the stress and go on for many years like Sir Alex and there are some that the stress get to their bodies and they HAVE to retire to rest their bodies.
The stress gets to their families too and that will often be the breaking point. When Kenny left it was because he recognised he needed away from the stress to properly come to terms with the effects of Hillsborough and I would not be surprised if his family were as much of the reason. With klopp I think it was likely more his wife said enough. He said when he changed his mind and signed his extension that his wife had final say. If she told him that she felt like it was time to go he'd go I have no doubt.
@@bionicgeekgrrl the same thing happened with Sir Alex. When his wife sister died, his wife wanted him to be around more at the house especially when it came to his wife. Plus Sir Alex was in his early 70's so it was time to retire anyway. Sadly his wife died last year.
I’ve often wondered what shanks would have made of modern day players. I appreciate some prob do consider the fans but no many I’d say. I believe shanks would agree with me that football has lost its way a bit. Tbf jurgen went some lengths to restore that ethos, many thanks mien freund
I believe Manu just got rid of the one of the few players in their changing room that lived up to that ideal. In the premier league now, which players do you think still play for the club and fans and not just the pay cheque?
Clough brought Forrest up from second division obscurity is well😂 Many say both shankly and Clough would not have been successful without right hand men Paisley and Taylor
@@willleon9165 That's a fair&accurate comment...What Clough did with Notts forest was amazing&most likely we'll never see the likes off again.

Great man, fantastic manager.

Fun fact, since 62 no Liverpool team has finished lower than 8th. This is some legacy.
All managers for LFC are Legends, some more popular but all respected. Its the LFC way,
Would you say that Roy Hodgson was a legend for the club?

No chance.

Brilliant upload thanks. Only one correction needed. Liverpool players celebrating at 27.17 is game v St Étienne in 1977 under Bob Paisley
Good eye, thanks for highlighting. Some spelling mistakes in the video also.

Hard work ❤
anyone else got hairs standing up on the back of their neck watching this in 2023 ?
There's more to shanks just retiring, he and the club never met or crossed paths again!
He was to powerful, if he’d have ran for prime minister everyone would have voted for him. I think he scared the political institutions.
Glenbuck Son
1913-1981
In Glenbuck he was born
From an Ayrshire mine he did rise
The man who would change so many lives
With the Cherry Pickers he played the game
With Carlisle United he first found fame
At Deepdale with Tom Finny he did play
Seven caps for Scotland he was proud to display
As a manager new tricks to learn
To Carlisle United he did return
At Grimsby he cast his net
The Glenbuck son's destiny was set
Workington and Huddersfield he did run
No to Liverpool in '51
Eight years down the line
An historic day in December '59
All would soon fear the famous THIS IS ANFIELD sign
Promotion in '62
Champions in '64
The Glenbuck son, Kopites did adore
'65 to Wembley in May
The Glenbuck son took the Cup away
Now Into Europe he lead his team
To be Champions of Europe was his dream
Cheated in Milan, all was doom and gloom
Now back home in his beloved boot room
The Glenbuck son would sit in a huddle
'73 he won a league and UEFA cup double
May 74 back at Wembley once more
Malcolm McDonald, what's the score?
July, the Kopites heads are down
The Glenbuck son has relinquished his crown
September 1981
Rest in peace our Glenbuck son
Forever we celebrate his memory
Thank you to the KING BILL SHANKLY

Is Slot the Paisley to Klopp’s Shankley?
A proper manager, wouldn't be have made a brilliant politician.
Was just thinking that. People like him and Busby were in a way, wasted on football. We need leaders like him and we get boris johnson.
