“if i could…i’d put em’ in jail” this whole statement he makes about players and dedication & wages is one of my favs. just amazing attitude.

i knew that of course, u know ure history scouse lol, did u also know he played for man city, makes no difference to me though a true man utd legend. we all have great clubs wit great history its a shame sumtimes we always have 2 concentrate on wat makes us different instead of wat makes us the same!
fantastic video and idea mate… just one thing… the bagpipes drown out the comments… turn them down a notch or two and you’ve got the ultimate video!
Agreed! The obnoxious childish crap they dish out now is sad, given the legends that came before them… p.s. did you know Matt Busby played for and was Liverpool’s captain
well fkn said anthony100,its simple football is not the same game as it once was,football these days is nothink but greed,the is nothink such as shirtplayers these days,most players are journymen playing for the £,never has the connection between the fan and the footballer has been so far apart,we will never get back to the real game of football ever,shanks made the people happy,today clubs just want to squeeze every penny out of you,never again we shall witness another shankly

i must agree it seems they have lost the meaning of pride for the shirt some of them wear they need to realise liverpool fc isnt just a football club where they can earn a tremendous wage its a religion to the people that support them for all their lives
The Liverpool players now should watch this video before matches.INSPIRATION.
True Legend!! Bill Shankly’s respected all the way here in Pakistan as well.
LIVERPOOL FC.
STAND BY RAFA!!
thanks all done
Brilliant…
If Everton were playing in the garden I’d close the curtains!!
“We are Liverpool FC”
I regret that i wasn’t born earlier to learn from this man while he was still alive. what a vision and what a drive to establish so much in life and bring about glory that have lasted for decades and going to be for decades to go.
thanks for the comment mate he was a great manhe thought of the people
