BILL SHANKLYWell the Kop’s exclusive. The Spion Kop at Liverpool is an institution. And if you are a member of the Kop you feel as if you are a member of a big society where you’ve got thousands of friends all roundabout you. And they’re united and loyal.
BILL SHANKLYTrain the right way. Help each other. It’s a form of socialism without the politics.
BILL SHANKLYI don’t drop players. I make changes.
BILL SHANKLYI wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in.
