His famous"es live long in the memory. His autobiography penned after he had dramatically called time on his Anfield reign gives us a real insight into the passions that motivated this remarkable football man. Now comes a new discovery from deep within the archives of the Liverpool Echo newspaper. Shankly rarely gave in-depth interviews to journalists but in the summer of 1962 the time was right to speak his mind.
