“I must speak frankly Mr Shankly” or rather random quotes from Liverpool football legend Bill Shankly including such gems as:

‘Brian Clough’s worse than the rain in Manchester.
At least God stops that occasionally !’

Of an opposition defender in the early 70s
‘If he had gunpowder for brains he couldn’t blow his cap off.’

Tommy Docherty: ‘You have to say Tony Hateley’s good in the air.’
Shankly:’Aye, so was Douglas Bader… and he had a wooden leg.’

To Ian St John:
‘If you’re not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we’ll discuss your options afterwards.’
