Quotes

  • It's there to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against. About the 'This is Anfield' plaque.
  • After beating Everton in the 1971 FA Cup semi: Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I'd been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands, and cut a hole in the lid.
  • The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
  • Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
  • The socialism I believe in is everyone working for each other, everyone having a share of the rewards. It's the way I see football, the way I see life.
