Just watched on Amazon Prime. Documentary on Busby, Shankly and Stein. Absolutely essential watching and Oor Jum was totally hewn from the same granite. Modern players should certainly watch and learn of the benefits of hard work, dedication, loyalty, respecting your Club’s fan base and continuing to strive to get better and better and better. The last thing football should be about is the pay cheque.
Absolute legends the three of them.
They should make another one of the three young pretenders.......Clough, Ferguson and James Yuill McLean.
Watching it now...interesting that Shankly’s first two outstanding, and key signings (and ones he demanded from the board) were Ron Yeats from Dundee United and Ian St John from Motherwell.Quote:

Shankly bought him, immediately installed him as Liverpool captain and described him at his unveiling as a ‘man mountain’. For helping get us up and kicking off a series of events which just over 20 years later saw us crowned Champions of Scotland, the man is deserving of a place in our Hall of Fame.Quote:
