More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
September 29, 1981 marks the 25th anniversary of the death of the man who turned Liverpool Football Club from a struggling Second Division outfit to one of the bastions of world football. Bill Shankly was a remarkable character, but there were many sides to the legendary Scottish manager. Now a new book tells the inside story. "The Real Bill Shankly" will provide a fascinating insight into the mind of this unique character through recollections from the fans who idolised him, the players who responded to his inspirational team talks and the family who loved him. The book is compiled by Karen Gill, the great man's granddaughter, who called him 'Grandee' while the fans called him 'The Messiah'. There have been many Shankly books but this one, featuring marvellous photography from the unique archive collection of the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, will be the definitive official record of his remarkable life - officially endorsed by Liverpool FC. "The Real Bill Shankly" - published by Trinity Mirror Sport Media - is a book every football fan will want to read. He was of an age when fans came before commercialism. Every single one of them mattered to Shankly. He was unique. This story does justice to the legend.

Format:Hardcover
I am a huge Liverpool fan and all i can say about this book is that it is the most compelling book on Shanks simply because his granddaughter supplies the little nuggets of info on the Great Man. It offers a very personal view on her life with him, I was not lucky enough to meet Bill Shankly but after reading this you end up feeling that you knew him and that you knew him well. Excellent commentary from Karen and the photos are absolutely superb. A very fitting tribute to not only a Liverpool legend but a historical giant of a man. Thank you for taking your journey Karen only you could have done it.

If you love the man, you will love this book. You get the feeling that the author was as much in awe of him as the rest of us.
