I could do with your help to raise money for Millstead Primary School,who are trying to build a new playground for their pupils. It'll cost £150,000. We'll be walking 346km from Southport to Hornsea. Every single share and donation makes a difference. ❤️

Born on this day 1913 in a tiny mining village which produced over fifty professional footballers. Arguably the most passionate football man that ever lived. He even paved over the front lawn to accommodate the constant flow of visitors. :)

Tuesday, 29th September 1981. I'll never forget the shock. Can't ever remember him being poorly even once and now he was gone for ever. All these flags created over time, show the love that still exists. His legacy lives on. #ShanklyLivesForEver

Born 109 years ago today. What a life! People are still writing about him, singing his name, quoting him, and being inspired by him. The respect and love between him and the supporters was mutual, Surrounded here by the people he loved and related to, completely and absolutely.

On September 29th 1981, LFC lost a great manager, the city of Liverpool lost a devoted ambassador and I lost my granddad and greatest inspiration. Still feels like he's here, somehow. Quietly, Anfield hums his name to the tune of Amazing Grace..💔 Never forgotten, sorely missed.

60 years ago, Bill Shankly "signed" for Liverpool Football Club. He didn't actually sign a contract until 1963! He said "If Liverpool don't like me, they can sack me." I think we liked him..

On 12 July 1974 he "retired" from football, but how can you retire from something that gives your life meaning? "As long as I live, I will treasure my time serving all of you." And he did. #BillShankly
