"This city has two great teams: Liverpool and Liverpool reserves."
Appointed on 1 Dec 1959, Bill Shankly (b. 2 Sept 1913 - d. 29 Sept 1981) was a legendary manager in Liverpool history. Commemorated with a statue, the Shankly Gates, and the songs from the Kop at Anfield, Shankly was a history-maker whose influences and infamous Boot Room brought Liverpool out of hard times and back into the First Division as the club began its phenomenal uprising. Shankly was a man who truly embodied the Liverpool spirit. He resigned in 12 July 1974, but his influence never faded.
