“If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later.”

“That goal in the '65 final was the most important of my career. It was for the people of Liverpool.”

“I’ll tell you something, Bill Shankly was a fantastic psychologist. He knew how to get the best out of you.”

“When I got to Liverpool, I didn't know much about the history of the club, but I soon learned. It gets into your blood.”

“The gaffer (Bill Shankly) just said 'Son, I'm signing you to score goals'. It was as simple as that.”

“Me and Jimmy [Greaves], we just clicked. It wasn't scripted, it was just two old pros talking about the game they loved.”

“You had to be strong to play for Shankly. He demanded everything, every single day.”

“What a pearler!”

“Football is a simple game made complicated by people who should know better.”

“It's a game of two halves.”
