| Description: | Select Guide Rating The illustrated biography of the most iconic manager of all time. Bill Shankly is the man who shaped Liverpool Football Club. His legendary status on Merseyside and within the history of the game cannot be overestimated. Renowned for his commitment, restless energy and laconic aphorisms, he followed a respectable career as a player with an incredible one as a manager. Having been in charge at Carlisle, Grimsby, Workington and swiftly Huddersfield, he arrived at a struggling Liverpool in 1959 and transformed the club into one of the most successful in British football. This, together with the force of his incredible personality, ensured Bill Shankly would be remembered forever as one of the all-time great figures in football. With superb photography from sports photographer Steve Hale, prolific Merseyside writer Phil Thompson records Shankly’s life in this delightful biography – from his birth in Glenbuck to the glory days when Shankly laid the foundations for Liverpool’s rise to domination of the domestic and European football scene. |
