Seguimos repasando en Retrofootball los grandes equipos de la historia del
fútbol europeo; especialmente de la Copa de Europa (sí, la Champions). Hoy nos
detenemos en el Liverpool. Concretamente en el Liverpool de mediados de los años
70 a mediados de los años 80.

If he was still with us, the great Bill Shankly would be 97 years old today, and no doubt still
an avid fan of the beautiful game, and particularly his beloved Liverpool. So happy birthday Shanks
he passed away in September 1981, but he'll never be forgotten, not at Anfield anyway.

Liverpool Football Club are, in the opinion of many observers, a club in crisis. A footballing
institution driven into financial ruin by two American owners, a giant of British football reduced
to seventh place in the Premier League last season.
On this day, September 2nd, William "Bill" Shankly was born 98 years ago. He passed
away on September 29th, 1981, but not before giving a life of service to the club he loved:
Liverpool FC. After a playing career at Preston North End and earning 5 caps with Scotland, Shankly
managed at Anfield from 1959 to 1974.

A new study by a University of Leicester sociologist has highlighted how Liverpool football club
became the first British club to truly internationalize the game – many decades before the
supposed globalization of football talent.
The football manager is also presumed to be a largely modern invention, associated especially on
Merseyside with the popular ‘socialism' and media-friendly charismatic leadership of Bill Shankly
from the late 1950s.
Ask any Manchester United or Liverpool fan what the first game they look for when a new season's

As I write this, I fear that never in the illustrious 118 year history of Liverpool Football Club,
has a sustained demonstration of solidarity and protest been so necessary.
3 Up Front is back and you'd be crazy to miss the latest blockbuster of a show!
In a three-pronged attack on your footballing senses host Adrian Clarke, along
with star pundits Iain Spragg and Iain Macintosh are in fine form
as they tackle all the burning issues including;
The shambles that is Liverpool and Everton.

I wasn't at the Northampton game on Wednesday night. But I don't think I could have been any
angrier even if I had been.
As soon as the penalty shoot-out ended, I switched the radio off and went to bed.
Like all other listening fans, and of course the thousands of supporters who paid their money,
braved the rain and went along to support their side in what should have been a routine cup game,
I'd long since heard enough and had enough.
