According to Stephen Kelly, hiring Twentyman as chief scout was "perhaps Shankly's finest signing ever". [143] Coupled with the roar of the crowd, it was designed to intimidate.

[45], With the resumption of full League football again in the 194647 season, Shankly returned to Preston who held his registration, but he was now 33 and coming to the end of his playing days. [159] This was particularly true at Liverpool and Shankly said he was made for Liverpool where the people that matter most are the ones who come through the turnstiles. [125] In September 1968, he paid 100,000 (equivalent to 1,845,043 in 2021) to Wolverhampton Wanderers for their teenage striker Alun Evans who thus became "football's first 100,000 teenager".

He was football's Muhammad Ali: a charismatic maverick whose utterances had an unexpected, undeniable poetry. To deal with what he saw as a below average playing squad, he placed 24 players on the transfer list. Its the greatest thing in the world, natural enthusiasm. [173] There was a perception that Shankly was an overbearing figure, who could use a position on the board to be a "back-seat driver", and the board were well aware that Matt Busby's time as a Manchester United director had been disastrous. Above all, said Twentyman, "he wanted to know if the lad had the heart to play for Liverpool". [119] In the 196465 Football League Championship, Liverpool dropped from first to seventh with 13 fewer points than the previous season, perhaps due to the exertion of lengthy participation in the FA and European Cups. [51] Shankly was succeeded in the Preston team by Tommy Docherty and Shankly told Docherty that he should just put the number four shirt on and let it run round by itself because it knows where to go. [58], Shankly was always noted for his dedication to football and, in his playing days, would do his own training during the summer months. He was an early exponent of the long throw-in he practised by throwing balls over a row of houses and the small boys of the village helped by fetching them back for him. Evans started well and produced some outstanding performances during his four years at the club but Shankly eventually had to sell him to Aston Villa. He compared the cities of Glasgow and Liverpool by saying that there is nothing like the RangersCeltic situation in Liverpool because the supporters of Liverpool and Everton are a mixed bunch whose religion is football. He led the side to three titles, delivered their first FA Cup and their first European trophy, the Uefa Cup.

He led Liverpool to the Second Division Championship to gain promotion to the top-flight First Division in 1962, before going on to win three First Division Championships, two FA Cups, four Charity Shields and one UEFA Cup. [17] He was at school from age five until 14. In 1967, he signed striker Tony Hateley from Chelsea for a club record 96,000 and then felt obliged to transfer him to Coventry City only a year later. The Liverpool secretary Peter Robinson was initially blas in 1974 but, when he realised Shankly was serious this time, tried to make him change his mind. He died seven years later, aged 68. [2][3] In 2019, 60 years after Shankly arrived at Liverpool, Tony Evans of The Independent wrote, "Shankly created the idea of Liverpool, transforming the football club by emphasising the importance of the Kop and making supporters feel like participants".[3].

[107] The hard work paid off in 196364 when Liverpool won their sixth League Championship title, ending the season with a 50 defeat of Arsenal at Anfield. [178], From Liverpool's point of view, the situation was that Shankly had retired and the club had to move on. He led Liverpool like a revolutionary leader, casting his personnel not just as footballers but soldiers to his cause, and became a folk hero to the fans. He laid foundations on which his successors Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan were able to build by winning seven league titles and four European Cups in the ten seasons after Shankly retired in 1974. "[210] He admitted to idolising Robert Burns, whose birthplace was only 26 miles from Glenbuck, and he was inspired by many of Burns' philosophical quotations, such as his egalitarian statement that "A Man's A Man for A' That".

[52] He spoke of his "unbelievable pride" when playing for Scotland against England and how, when confronted by the "Auld Enemy", the Scottish players would become William Wallace or Robert the Bruce for 90 minutes after pulling on the blue jersey. He is full of good football and possessed with unlimited energy; he should go far. [119] Shankly and Paisley had learned a great deal about European football which Liverpool would eventually turn into trophies. He said it was a scandal that he needed to say that about the club he had helped to build. He was reluctant to promote some promising reserves because of loyalty to the older players (a fault that was to resurface at Liverpool years later) and he finally resigned in January 1954, citing the board's lack of ambition as his main reason. He was cremated at the Anfield Crematorium on 2 October and his ashes were scattered on the Anfield pitch at the Kop end. [128], In the 196970 FA Cup quarter final, Liverpool played against struggling Second Division side Watford at Vicarage Road and lost 10 after a very poor performance.
