Bill Shankly:(he is a real big mouth!!)
'The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.'
'If you are first you are first.
If you are second you are nothing.'
'A lot of football success is in the mind.
You must believe you are the best and then make sure
that you are. In my time at Anfield we always said we had
the best two teams on Merseyside,
Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.'
Radio Merseyside interviewer to Shankly:
'Mr Shankly, why is it that your teams' unbeaten
run has suddenly ended ... ?'
Shankly: 'Why don't you go and jump in the lake ?'
'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death.
I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'
