DVD Description
Shankly: When a man called Shankly arrived at Anfield in 1959, Liverpool FC were in the Second Division. When he left in 1974, he’d turned them into one of the most respected clubs in the world. His story is that of an Anfield legend. He was the inspiration and motivation behind the club’s rise from the Second Division in 1962, taking them all the way to the First Division title in 1964. He led Liverpool to their first ever FA Cup triumph in 1965 and broke new ground as he guided them throught their first forays into Europe. He left Liverpool FC with a million memories. Everyone has their own favourite Shankly story. The Scot was more than just a manager, he was the man who gave the club its identity, character and personality. He was the man who built the modern day Liverpool FC. His mission was to build Liverpool FC into a bastion of invincibility. His mission was accomplished.
Paisley:
Over fifty years at the club saw Bob Paisley rise all the way through the ranks. Joining the club as a player in 1939, he became Bill Shankly’s right-hand man in 1959. When Shankly retired in 1974, Bob was the man who stepped out of the shadows to become the new man in charge at the club. His story tells how he didn’t want the job when he took over, but forced into the limelight, hard work, an eye for a player and an astute grasp of tactics helped Paisley re-write the record books, turning Liverpool FC into the most respected club on the continent. In nine glorious years Paisley led Liverpool FC to six League Championships, three European Cups, three League Cups and a UEFA Cup. He was named Manager of the Year on six separate occasions and was quite simply the most successful leader in the history of the club.
Dalglish:
As manager of the club between 1985 and 1991, he led them to unique achievements. Liverpool FC’s first ever League and Cup double was claimed in 1986, with Kenny becoming the first player/manager ever to reach such heights. A further two League Championships and another FA Cup followed, as Kenny went about building one of the most exciting teams Anfield has ever seen. Had Dalglish been just a manager he’d have done enough for the club, but his tenure in charge was preceded by an equally glorious playing career, when his goals, vision and genius helped Liverpool FC to five League titles and three European Cups. In an exclusive new interview, Kenny talks about the triumphs and tragedies that mapped out his 14 years at Anfield. How he led Liverpool FC through the Hillsborough disaster and how the club, supporters and the city shared their grief as one. He reveals how he turned down the chance to join Bill Shankly’s Liverpool as a 15 year old, before returning in 1977 to build a new era at the club and become King of the Kop, creating magical memories for a generation of fans. The tremors caused by his resignation in 1991 equalled the shock of Shankly’s departure 17 years earlier but Dalglish can quite rightly claim his place amongst the greatest servants Liverpool FC has ever had. This is his story.
