BILL SHANKLYA football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.
BILL SHANKLYI don’t drop players. I make changes.
BILL SHANKLYThis city has two great teams – Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
BILL SHANKLYTrain the right way. Help each other. It’s a form of socialism without the politics.
BILL SHANKLYIf 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.
BILL SHANKLYWe absolutely annihilated England. It was a massacre. We beat them 5-4.
BILL SHANKLYMy life is my work. My work is my life
BILL SHANKLYFirst is first,Second is nothing
BILL SHANKLYThe trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
BILL SHANKLYIt’s a 90 minute game for sure. In fact I used to train for a 190 minute game so that when the whistle blew at the end of the match I could have played another 90 minutes.
BILL SHANKLYWe 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 SHANKLYOf course I didn’t take my wife to see Rochdale as an anniversary present. It was her birthday and would I have got married during the football season? Anyway, it was Rochdale reserves.
BILL SHANKLYI 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.
BILL SHANKLYFor a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side.
BILL SHANKLYIf 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)
