eye men games
I've had many skilful men and the likes of Peter Thompson, Ian St John, Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were the ones who caught the eye. But the best professional of the lot was Gerry Byrne. He wasn't flashy and he wouldn't score you goals. But he was hard and skilful and gave you everything he had. More than that he was totally honest. Which is the greatest quality of all. He was a true Liverpudlian who couldn't look his fellow Scousers in the face after a game unless he'd given everything he had for 90 minutes.

Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.
team mars want
I want to build a team that's invincible, so that they have to send a team from bloody Mars to beat us.
thinking people kind
I’m just one of the people who stands on the Kop. They think the same as I do, and I think the same as they do. It’s a kind of marriage of people who like each other.

Tom Finney would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age, even if he had been wearing an overcoat.

Although I'm a Scot, I'd be proud to be called a Scouser.

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

For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side.
sunday league looks
I always look in the Sunday paper to see where Everton are in the league - starting, of course, from the bottom up.
trying finals pits
Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That's the reward.
soccer football games
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
men people selfless
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'.
