Product Information
It was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the great man's arrival at Anfield, and it gave a new generation of football fans a unique insight into the real man behind the legend. The new hardback edition was extremely popular and has sold out,prompting this follow-up paperback edition. Ghost-written by John Roberts - one of the only journalists Shankly trusted to tell his life story - this is the tale of his rise from a poor Scottish mining village to international fame as creator of the most successful side of the era - Liverpool. This book provides in-depth analysis in the inimitable Shankly style of the players he nurtured - from Ian St John to Emlyn Hughes and Kevin Keegan - and revealing descriptions of the methods that made Liverpool uniquely feared and respected. Written in the years after his dramatic resignation as Liverpool manager, it gives an insight into Shankly's feelings about the club that he felt had turned its back on him, and explores the astonishing relationship he had with the supporters they called 'Shankly's Red Army'. Shankly's unputdownable memoirs show the man: tough, cracking with wit, full of insights and that quality which made him a great football manager and personality - heart.Product Identifiers
