So the groundsman had the difficult job of digging a hole in the pitch inside the Kop net. He dug it a foot down at the right-hand side of the post facing the Kop and casket containing the man's ashes were placed in it.
So people not only support Liverpool when they're alive. They support them when they are dead. This is the true story of Liverpool.
This is possibly why Liverpool are so great. There is no hypocrisy about it. It is sheer honesty. Laughingly I have said, when a ball has been headed out of that particular corner of the net: 'That's the bloke in there again! He's having a blinder today. I don't think we lost a goal at that end for years after the man's ashes were placed in there.
Bill Shankly. They're my qualifications, the way I was born. And that's all the qualifications anyone needs in the game I'm in. I didn't think it was necessary to take an FA coaching course. I didn't think it was going to make me any better. If I take a course am I going to be a better man six days later because I've got a piece of paper?

I had the feeling that something was wrong politically and I believe there were some investigations later about Inter and Liverpool. We can't really prove anything but I remember being told that we would not win.
It was just like a war that night. Two of the Inter goals weren't legal and I think the atmosphere affected them as well as us. I'm not saying that if the decisions on the pitch had been right we wouldn't have lost. Perhaps we would have done. But of all the people I've seen and met that referee is the one man who haunts me. But we went close to winning the European Cup at a time when no British club had won it.
Celtic became the first two years later. Shankly was not so pleased with the performance of the referee after the loss to Inter in the European Cup semi-finals in He was always getting injured. Training for Jack was like jogging in between injuries.
He was driving Shanks mad because he hated people who were like that. Finally he said one day to Jack in training, 'You, go up to the corner where the pigsty was and train up there.
I don't want you to contaminate the rest of the team. One of Ian St John's favourite stories. From LFChistory's exclusive interview with Saint in I might well have become a Liverpool player. There was a time when I always thought that I would follow Shankly, and, when he went to Liverpool, I fully expected to be joining him.
I know Shankly wanted to buy me, but the board said they couldn't afford it. I think Huddersfield wanted 40, or 50, pounds which was a lot of money in those days. But the Liverpool board said no. I would have loved to have played there, and I know would have enjoyed it. I would have thrived on the Kop atmosphere. But it was not to be.
