Was just reading an interview with Fergie when he mentioned a classic Shankly quote..
"One time I went to see Liverpool v Derby and was lucky to be introduced to him," he added.
"I was so nervous I could hardly speak at first. Anyway, we talked for ages and I suddenly noticed the time and said, 'Mr Shankly, are you aware it's 7.25?' Kick-off was in five minutes. 'So?' he said, looking at me quizzically. 'Shouldn't you be with your team?' I asked. 'If I need to be with them now, then there's a problem,' he replied."
Some more I found...
“When I've got nothing better to do, I look down the league table to see how Everton are getting along.”
“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”
“Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.”
“This city has two great teams - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.”
“If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.”
“If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing.”
“If a player isn't interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be!”
“If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.”
To Alan Ball after he'd signed for Everton:
'Never mind Alan, at least you'll be able to play next to a great team'
After beating Everton in the 1971 FA Cup semi:
'Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I'd been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands, and cut a hole in the lid.'
'I told this player, 'Listen Son, you haven't broken your leg. It's all in the mind.''
To Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
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 ?'
