Bob Paisley

"The sort of lad I'm looking for here is a kid who'll try to nutmeg Kevin Keegan in a training match... but then step aside for him in the corridor."

He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1977 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews on board a coach in central London.

The Boot Room

The original members of the Boot Room were Shankly, Bob Paisley, Reuben Bennett, Tom Saunders and Joe Fagan.


Jim Harley

After the 6 year break Harley returned to Merseyside and played in 17 games of the first post-war championship winning side, a side that contained the likes of Jack Balmer, Bill Jones, Berry Nieuwenhuys, Albert Stubbins, Billy Liddell and Bob Paisley.

Phil Boersma

Always on the fringes of the first team, mainly due to the Keegan/Toshack partnership and a youngster called David Fairclough, Boersma failed to make an impact on the 1975/76 season for the Anfield club and Bob Paisley allowed him to leave Liverpool in the December of '75.
