He and Nessie went to Buckingham Palace and, according to Kelly, that was a rare day out for them. He played as a ball-winning right-half and was capped twelve times for Scotland, including seven wartime internationals. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football. [42] Preston recovered to reach the 1938 FA Cup Final in which they defeated Huddersfield Town 10 with a penalty scored by George Mutch in the final minute of extra time. When Shankly arrived at Anfield on Monday, 14 December 1959, Liverpool had been in the Second Division for five years, and had been defeated by non-league Worcester City in the 195859 FA Cup. [196] Shankly also features in the popular Liverpool chant "Allez, Allez, Allez", which is frequently sung by Liverpool supporters, especially during European matches. The club was unrecognisable from the decrepit, rundown place it had been on the eve of the 60s. [125] In September 1968, he paid 100,000 (equivalent to 1,845,043 in 2021) to Wolverhampton Wanderers for their teenage striker Alun Evans who thus became "football's first 100,000 teenager". [187] On 3 October, Liverpool's first home league game since his passing, Anfield celebrated his life, with one fan on the Kop holding aloft a homemade banner declaring "Shankly Lives Forever".

[60], After an unsuccessful interview at Liverpool,[64] Shankly moved to manage Grimsby Town in June 1951. As well as winning the FA Cup, Preston finished third in the league. [202], Stephen Kelly, in his 1997 biography of Shankly, calls him "the ultimate obsessive". When the opportunity came for him to move on, he was not convinced he wanted to leave. [192] In 2004, he was an inaugural inductee into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. [134] The highlight of Liverpool's European campaign that season was a 41 aggregate victory in the quarter-final over Bayern Munich. [99], Liverpool's recovery depended on new players being acquired and, in his autobiography, Shankly recalled the struggles he had with the board to make them realise the club's potential and the need to spend money on good players. [109] In 1964, Jimmy Melia was transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers;[110] with Shankly buying Arsenal's utility player Geoff Strong for 40,000 and this was Liverpool's last significant transfer activity until 1967. [54], Shankly made his international debut on 9 April 1938 against England at Wembley; Scotland winning the match 10 with a late goal by Tommy Walker. [173], It is believed that Shankly wanted a seat on the Liverpool board, as Matt Busby had been given by Manchester United after he retired as their manager in 1969.

[65], Grimsby made a strong challenge for promotion in 195152 but finished second, three points behind Lincoln City (only one team was promoted from Division Three North, with one from Division Three South). [23], Shankly's village team was called the Glenbuck Cherrypickers, a name probably derived from the 11th Hussars (the "Cherry Pickers"), but he said the club was near extinction when he had a trial and he never actually played for them. [157] In what proved to be Shankly's last competitive game in charge, Liverpool produced a superb second half performance to defeat Newcastle 30 at Wembley. It was a poor upbringing. Shankly was married to his wife Agnes Wren-Fisher from 1944 until his death 37 years later. [51] Shankly was succeeded in the Preston team by Tommy Docherty and Shankly told Docherty that he should just put the number four shirt on and let it run round by itself because it knows where to go.

[82] His league record at Huddersfield was 49 wins and 47 defeats in 129 matches.[77]. [111], One of Shankly's greatest ambitions when he joined Liverpool was to win the FA Cup and, after he signed Yeats and St John, he told the club directors that they would win it with these two players in the team. [203] Shankly was fanatical about Liverpool and about football in general. Another prospect in his team was left back Ray Wilson who went on to become Huddersfield's most capped player before joining Everton. ~ Bill Shankly.

[212], When asked by a TV interviewer how he would like to be remembered, Shankly replied:[213]. [178], From Liverpool's point of view, the situation was that Shankly had retired and the club had to move on. [73] The situation led to numerous arguments with the club's board which, as Kelly records, included a majority of rugby league men whose interest in football took second place to rugby. It had become too important. He led Liverpool to the Second Division Championship to gain promotion to the top-flight First Division in 1962, before going on to win three First Division Championships, two FA Cups, four Charity Shields and one UEFA Cup. Shankly took charge of Liverpool when they were bottom of the Second Division but soon established them as one of the major forces in the English game. [66] Even so, Shankly believed he still had good players to work with and was able to buy some additional players on the transfer market for low fees. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. At 00:30 on 29 September, he suffered another cardiac arrest and was certified dead, twenty-seven days after his 68th birthday, at 01:20. [211] Shankly had no time for bigotry or prejudice, especially arising from differences of religion. [159] This was particularly true at Liverpool and Shankly said he was made for Liverpool where the people that matter most are the ones who come through the turnstiles.

[123] The Liverpool site argues that Shankly was mistaken in his decision at this time to postpone team rebuilding. To deal with what he saw as a below average playing squad, he placed 24 players on the transfer list. [67] Shankly insisted in his autobiography that his Grimsby team was:[67]. [146], In 197273, Liverpool won the club's eighth league title and their third under Shankly. Shankly maintained that Liverpool were denied a definite penalty in their crucial away match against Derby and then had a good goal disallowed towards the end of their final match against Arsenal. Shankly described it as one of the most amazing games he had ever seen. His condition appeared to be stable and there was no suggestion that his life was in danger. He explained that, in football terms, he had always been an optimist with a belief in his destiny and that was the basis of his undying enthusiasm for the sport. He absolutely lives the game he was totally honest, he believed implicitly in what he was doing, and there was never, ever a doubt when you either talked to him, met him, or anything; he was above board. [173] There was a perception that Shankly was an overbearing figure, who could use a position on the board to be a "back-seat driver", and the board were well aware that Matt Busby's time as a Manchester United director had been disastrous. The grandson of the legendary Bill Shankly says the former Liverpool manager would be "spinning in his grave" at the club being involved in European Super League plans and declared he would "happily see the statue" of his grandfather removed from outside Anfield.Shankly is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the club's history, having taken them from a Second . [7] As a result, Glenbuck became largely derelict and by the time Shankly's ghost writer John Roberts visited it in 1976, there were only 12 houses left, including a cottage owned by Shankly's sister, Elizabeth, whom Roberts described as "the last of the children of Glenbuck". [121], Liverpool began the 196667 season by beating neighbours Everton in the FA Charity Shield match but the team were never really in contention for major honours that season, finishing fifth in the league. He said he still wanted the involvement as the club had become his life. Yet the silverware tells only a fraction of the story. Shankly wurde als jngstes von elf Kindern in der kleinen Arbeiterstadt Glenbuck im Sden Schottlands geboren. Best Bill Shankly Quotes If you are first you are first. He was manager of Carlisle United in 1948, Grimsby Town,. [54] He took a speculative shot towards goal from 50 yards and the ball bounced over the England goalkeeper's head and into the net. He said in his autobiography that there was greater potential at Grimsby than at Carlisle. [48] He had absorbed all the coaching systems with any useful qualifications and had full confidence in his ability and in himself to be a leader.
