Thanks for finding this, very cool. There is such a dramatic difference between management of old and management of new. Listening to Shankly just makes me more and more angry with Hodgson. The difference in mental fortitude is astonishing. Hodgsons attitude of 'We'll see how this game turns out, hopefully we'll scratch a point' is just so far removed from how Shankly built Liverpool it is frightening; it's like Hodgson is so far up his own butt that he actually believes that he is the best manager LFC has ever had. You know, what with winning manager of the year an' all ... He isn't worthy of the Liverpool insignia and it pains me to see him wear it as if it's lucky to be on him.

From Sir Alex Ferguson's book 'Leadership.' There's one final example of the power of delegation that I always carried with me from earlier in my career. In 1972 I went down to Derby to watch a huge end of season game-Liverpool versus Derby County. Jock Stein had set me up with the tickets and Bill Shankly , the Liverpool manager, very kindly game us a tour of the Derby boardroom. It was about 7:25 pm and it was a 7:30 kickoff and I asked Bill whether he should be with his players. He said, "Son if I've got to be with my players for the deciding game of the season, there's something wrong with them." When we walked into the tunnel all the players were lined up and one, Tommy Smith, the captain, was bouncing a ball on his head. Shankly said, "Tommy, take them home, son. You know what to do." That one sentence said everything about Shankly's style of leadership.
Never mind Shanks. Here is Liverpool’s greatest manager in his playing days in South Africa for Mighty Berea Park
