Liverpool Football Club - Great Managers - Shankly

When a man called Shankly arrived at Anfield in 1959, Liverpool FC were in the Second Division. When he left in 1974, he’d turned them into one of the most respected clubs in the world. His story is that of an Anfield legend. He was the inspiration and motivation behind the club’s rise from the Second Division in 1962, taking them all the way to the First Division title in 1964. He led Liverpool to their first ever FA Cup triumph in 1965 and broke new ground as he guided them throught their first forays into Europe. He left Liverpool FC with a million memories. Everyone has their own favourite Shankly story. The Scot was more than just a manager, he was the man who gave the club its identity, character and personality. He was the man who built the modern day Liverpool FC. His mission was to build Liverpool FC into a bastion of invincibility. His mission was accomplished.
