Who's giving him stick?

One thing Shanks had was a sense of humour you should get one they are great fun.

Joking of course, more of that humour stuff!

thompson he meant the people of liverpool as well as the team , but the stick now getting given out especially questioning where bill went to school is disgusting in an LFC forum , i put it on for a bit of interest but genuinely shocked by the reaction .

i am when not only bill shankly is called into question and something i put up for a bit of interest about bill and his affection for the people of the city of liverpool , yes i get shocked .

BOO!!

Is it a government secret where he went to school? Why shouldn't we ask? You need to learn to have a laugh.

Personally I never knew him but I love bill shankly for what he done but faz, I love marko and hendo to, doesn't mean I won't take the MickEire out of them

marko i didnt put it up to be mocked and laughed at , out it up for a genuine reason a bit of interest for supporters of the club and i would like to think the city , but sadly its been laughed at unbelievable .

Don't take things personal Faz.

What Shanks meant is open to individual interpretation, you take one meaning from it and others take a different meaning.

To each their own.

Hahaha... exactly, we all respect Shankly, but we can have a laugh.

quoted from Wiki:

He was at school from the age of five until he was fourteen. Discipline at both home and school was strict but Shankly said it was character-building.[12] His favourite subject was geography and he played football as often as possible, especially in the school playground, but there was no organised school team.[13]
After Shankly left school in 1928, he worked at a local mine alongside his brother Bob. He did this for two years until the pit closed and he faced unemployment.[14] In his autobiography, he described the life of a miner at some length and mentioned many of the problems such as the sheer hard work, rats, the difficulties of eating and drinking at the coal face, but above all the filth: "We were never really clean. It was unbelievable how we survived. Going home to wash in a tub was the biggest thing. The first time I was in a bath was when I was fifteen".[15]

Well ain't that a surprise?

look mate i didnt put it up for marko or hendo , just genuine bit of interest , sorry i put it up now , i honestly thought it would have got a good reaction , got that very very wrong .
