Although he has not won as many trophies as Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly is regarded as the best manager Liverpool has ever had. Liverpool was weakening in might and infrastructure and was in the second division at the time of his arrival. He won the second
division in 1962. Shankly started a process of rebuilding the club with the members of the famous “Boot Room.” He won the FA Cup in 1965 and the League in 1966 and reached the European final that same year. He won the League and European double in 1973 and
won an FA Cup in 1974, which was to be his last game in charge. He had an extraordinary relationship with the Liverpool fans reaching out to them personally and replying to their letters and even helping them get tickets to matches. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s current history
is partly due to him and had he not been there, Liverpool FC would not have seen such http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sunny-c34349 days.
His enigmatic and aggressive managerial style helped Liverpool rebuild and succeed. Shankly was responsible for bringing Liverpool back into their winning ways with charisma and elegance. Liverpool’s success in the 60’s and 70’s is credited to Shankly for
taking the initiative and developing the infrastructure for rebuilding and winning.
