Thanx

"And I don't want him to teach me how to take a 4-0 defeat in a Champions League final (Cruyff's Barcelona lost 4-0 to Milan in 1994) because I don't want to learn that. Let him come to English football where he can learn that he is in the 21st century." - Jose Mourinho to Johan Cyruff

"When I've got nothing better to do, I look down the league table to see how Everton are getting along." - Bill Shankly

Bill Shankly to Tommy Smith, who tried to explain that his bandaged knee was injured :
"Take that bandage off. And what do you mean about YOUR knee? It's Liverpool's knee!"

Bill Shankly about the "This is Anfield" plaque :
"It's there to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against."

Bill Shankly to Alan Ball, who'd just signed for Everton :

Bill Shankly to a barber when asked if he wanted anything off the top :
"Aye, Everton."

Bill Shankly after beating Everton in the '71 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."

My absolute favourite.

"There's not a club in Europe with an anthem like You'll Never Walk Alone. I sat there watching and they sent shivers down my spine. A mass of 40,000 people became 1 force behind their team. For that I admire LFC more than anything." - Johan Cruyff

"You'll never win anything with kids." - Alan Hansen

Sometimes in football you have to score goals - Thierry Henry <--that's a novel idea!
