[edit] Life and death Quote
The version of the "life and death" quote here is different to that on Wikiquote. Would someone be able to track down which one is right? -- Hongooi 12:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- The one that was here is the correct version. I fixed the WikiQuote version (which someone had changed from the correct version last year) Jooler 12:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Subsequent events (Heysel, Hillsborough) have made this remark much less quotable of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haroldsomers (talk • contribs) 11:16, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Boot Room
Don't mean to be pedantic, but why is the anfield boot room referreed to as being infamous - the word infamous infers negativity, or being for the wrong reasons. Surely just the word famous (or even legendary no doubt in some people's eyes) would suffice more. Given how many trophies were won by the members of that boot room, it's hardly infamous by any stretch of the imagination is it? 86.11.80.36 17:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DoD
The date of Shankly's death on this page differs with that on this one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_8. I don't know for certain what the correct date of his passing was. In any case, being new to the whole wikipedia experience I am reluctant to change anything until i am familiar with the formats and markup tags used. Either way, one of these pages requires changing - would somebody mind doing the honours? Amcdermott 11:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- The date was changed with this edit - 29th is correct accoring to the Dictionary of National Biography. Q: "On 26 September 1981 Shankly was admitted to Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool, following a heart attack; he died there on 29 September" Jooler 12:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Liverpool reserves Quote
Is this quote exactly right.
- When asked what he thought about the team on the other side of Stanley Park he replied "There are only two teams in Liverpool; Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves". Should it not be "There are two great teams in Liverpool; Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves. The joke being, the interviewer was expecting him to mention Everton F.C.

[edit] Manager stats
Stats for his time at Workington are missing from the table. Soccerbase doesn't have them, so if anyone can add them that would be useful. WikiGull 21:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Interfering with play Quote
I believe the quote about not interfering with play is actually from Brian Clough rather than Shankly. Can anyone confirm? Haroldsomers 11:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Retirement
The truth of the matter is, much to their shame, Shanks wasn't really welcome at Melwood after his retirement, and he was much more likely to pop into Bellefield, opposite his house. Admitting this would undermine much of his famed hatred of Everton, but in reality he was respectful and much respected, unlike the current incumbent. Haroldsomers —Preceding comment was added at 11:20, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm tired of Everton or Man U fans trying to deface this page with blatant lies regarding Shank's relationship with the club after retirement, he was loved and still is by all associated with the club. Regardless of your allegiance, please be respectful of a great ambassador of the game and remember that this is supposed to be a free repository where people can try and find the truth —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevetorrens (talk • contribs) 10:36, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
