Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Documentary now on the i-player. Whatever you think of Liverpool, Shankly was a truly great manager and by all accounts, a very good bloke. Worth a watch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 7,212 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 First thing he did after Liverpools match on a Saturday was phone Symon to find out how the Rangers game went , 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Is that a rumour? I was under the impression he was one of us but haven't read any direct quotes to verify it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Is that a rumour? I was under the impression he was one of us but haven't read any direct quotes to verify it. It is known in Ayrshire to be fact. Shankly’s family were Rangers fans. Their Village is the tiniest village just outside Muirkirk. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,299 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 Sounds about right. My dad told me he was a Bear (and my dad visited his memorial in the village you refer to after a Rangers match a couple of years ago). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Glenbuck is TINY. And all the Shankly brothers were very able footballers. I’m sure every region has produced great players but asides from shankly we also had, in Ayrshire, big Geordie Young, Eric Caldow... plus Craig Burley and Kris Boyd Obviously that’s without trying as we also had George Burley and Alan Hutton Edited November 16, 2017 by craig 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Glenbuck was built for the mine. I remember in the 80's Yuill and Dodds Strathaven (remember that name) hauling scab coal to Ravenscraig. Streets of Glenbuck were lined sherricking the bastards 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franc Ergs 1,700 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Haven't seen the programme yet, but did see the trailer, and i can't believe they had the brass neck to steal a celtic song to help advertise it ! Plagiarism of the very worst kind imo 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
