team games worry
We are a team. We share the ball, we share the game, we share the worries.
team cities two
This city has two great teams – Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

Don't worry, Alan. At least you'll be able to play close to a great team. (to Alan Ball, who'd just signed for Everton)
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.
team age overcoat
Tom Finney would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age, even if he had been wearing an overcoat.
team passion pride
Fire in your belly comes from pride and passion in wearing the red shirt. We don't need to motivate players because each of them is responsible for the performance of the team as a whole. The status of Liverpool's players keeps them motivated.
funny teamwork football
A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.
football team two
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that
bring football game happiness love people
I was only in the game for the love of football -- and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
clubs invitations everton
I have not been short of invitations to other clubs and have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool.
player men games
Ian Callaghan is everything good that a man can be. No praise is too high for him. Words cannot do justice to the amount he has contributed to the game. Ian Callaghan will go down as one of the game's truly great players.
ideas giving world
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility. Had Napoleon had that idea he would have conquered 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.
loyal bigs members
Well the Kop’s exclusive. The Spion Kop at Liverpool is an institution. And if you are a member of the Kop you feel as if you are a member of a big society where you’ve got thousands of friends all roundabout you. And they’re united and loyal.
