just for fun lads and to remember the man who made liverpool what it is today 'I know this is a sad occasion, but I think that Dixie would be amazed to know that even in death he could draw a bigger crowd to Goodison than Everton on a Saturday afternoon.' - speaking at the funeral of Everton legend Dixie Dean
“If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.”
To reporters after a 3-0 defeat - 'They're nothing but rubbish. Three breakaways, that's all they got.'
“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.” “This city has two great teams - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.” “If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.” “We murdered them 0-0.” “Above all, I would like to be remembered as a man who was selfless, who strove and worried so that others could share the glory, and who built up a family of people who could hold their heads up high and say, 'We're Liverpool'.”
“Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.â€
About the 'This is Anfield' plaque - 'This is to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against
When I've got nothing better to do, I look down the league table to see how Everton are getting along
Me having no education. I had to use my brains Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor I'm a people's man -- only the people matter I was only in the game for the love of football -- and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.

I always thought that that phrase was a Bob Paisely one and not Shanks. On Bob's wiki page it has this quote "If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later."
This quote featured on the documentary on Bill that has been shown numerous times on LFCtv. "We're professionals at LIVERPOOL, we believe in simplicity. I wouldn't go on television or use words in newspapers that only a few people understand. Some people use words knowing full well that maybe only 10% of the viewers or readers know what they mean". "We don't, We speak the language of the people, the language that everybody understands. Instead of me saying that somebody was avaricious, I would say they were bloody greedy".
'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.' - after beating Everton in the 1971 FA Cup semi-final.
Bob Paisley quote and it should read "If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later."
One of my favourites: "My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Napoleon had that idea. He wanted to conquer the bloody world. I wanted Liverpool to be untouchable. My idea was to build Liverpool up and up until eventually everyone would have to submit and give in."
