One cannot find enough words to describe Liverpool F.C. Theyre one of the most prestigious clubs in England and have enjoyed a remarkable run in the European Cup.The Merseyside outfit have left a lasting impression on its current and former players who have expressed their pride in wearing the famous Red jersey along with the fans who are proud to support the club. And theyhave often been described as the most amazing set of supporters in numerous polls. Listed below are ten amazing Liverpool quotes.
#1 Bill Shankly
It’s there to remind our lads who they’re playing for and to remind the opposition who they’re playing against!
Another amazing quote from Liverpool’s iconic manager who uttered it when the ‘This Is Anfield’ sign was put up near the club’s entrance.
As luck would have it, the sign worked and Anfield gained a fear factor just as Shanks had predicted.
#2 Bob Paisley
“ Mind you, I’ve been here during the bad times too – one year we came second”
Paisley, the man who holds the record of being the most successful English manager ever, built a very strong Liverpool team during the 1970s and 1980s which dominated Europe. Unfortunately they came second in 1978 which was when Paisley uttered this memorable quote showing everybody that nothing but the best would do for LFC.
Paisley won an astonishing three European Cups as a manager – a record that has been equaled only by Carlo Ancelotti.
#3 Emlyn Hughes
"Liverpool are magic. Everton are tragic."
The two Merseyside rivals share quite a rivalry and have been known to take digs at each other. Hughes was a part of the legendary Liverpool team of the 1970’s which totally dominated England and conqured much of Europe.
At the time, Everton were still underdogs, which prompted the defender to say this. One can only side with one team in Merseyside and not both.
#4 Kenny Dalglish
"I may have left Liverpool but the city and club will always be part of me."
Playing for Liverpool really leaves a mark on you and ‘King Kenny’ realized that. The man who was voted the no.1 player who shook the Kop is held in the highest regard by fans even today who still remember his glory days.
The Scot himself stated that when he left Liverpool after stepping down as manager for the first time was one of the most emotional days of his life.
#5 Ray Clemence
Sometimes I feel I’m hardly wanted in this Liverpool team. If I get two or three saves to make I’ve had a busy day.
witty quote by Ray Clemence who was another highly decorated member of the legendary Liverpool team of the 1970s. The Liverpool defence was so brilliant during that era that teams found it extremely hard to break them.
Clemence, who was voted at no.11 in the list of 100 Players who shook the Kop, helped Liverpool win 5 First Division titles and 3 European Cups among other trophies. He was also voted as the greatest ever goalkeeper by Total Football ahead of legendary keepers like Peter Shilton, Gordon Banks and Lev Yashin.
Even though Clemence won all these laurels he really appreciated his back four.
#6 Bill Shankly
I always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside – Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.
Legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly took quite a few digs at Everton during his lifetime but this one is by far the wittiest. Shankly wanted his beloved Liverpool to be second to none not least to Everton who were merely underdogs during Shankly’s time at Anfield.
#7 Jamie Carragher
“Who’s bigger than Liverpool?”
When Carra was asked whether he would leave Liverpool for a big club he uttered this quote.
Beautiful. It’s a simple quote and doesn’t contain any big words but speaks volumes.
#8 Sir Matt Busby
“Only a man who has worn the red shirt of Liverpool knows and appreciates the value of the Kop supporter. I know which side I would rather be on.”
This iconic quote was uttered by none other than Manchester United’s legendary manager Sir Matt Busby who made over 100 appearances for Liverpool as a player.
Busby wore the Red shirt with pride and was another player who was moved by Liverpool’s tremendous supporters.
The iconic Scot would surely be saddened by the poisonous, hate filled rivalry the two clubs share today as he was a man who respected and was respected by both clubs.
#9 Gerard Houllier
"A Liverpool players must play like a lion, give his all. There must be determination, commitment and resolve to be a Liverpool player."
Former Reds manager Gerard Houllier knew that only a special few could play for Liverpool and not just any man.
The Frenchman was with Liverpool for eight trophy filled years and signed quite a few brilliant players like Dietmar Hamann, Sami Hyypia and Jerzy Dudek.
#10 Kevin Keegan
The only thing I fear is missing an open goal in front of the Kop. I would die if that were to happen. When they start singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' my eyes start to water. There have been times when I've actually been crying while I've been playing.
A lot has been said about the Liverpool fans, but this quote by the Reds’ legendary attacking midfielder Kevin Keegan describes them beautifully.
The Kopites worship their legendary heroes even today and truly strike a chord in people when they serenade Liverpool’s iconic anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.
