We all know the classics...like the one about life and death and only having 
Best, Law and Charlton to worry about. But what about the more mundane and 
lesser-known quotes from the legendary former Liverpool boss?

For example, once, when asked by Gerald Sinstadt about why he had 
substituted Phil Boersma at half-time when he was on a hat-trick, Shanks 
replied: "What's it got to do with you, you queer twat?"

On another occasion, Shanks had watching reporters in stitches during a 
press conference when Brian Glanville of the Daily Telegraph commented on a 
current dip in form at Anfield. "Say that again, you four-eyed piece of 
shit, and I'll come over there and shove my fist up your arse."

Famously, Shanks once commented that, if Everton were playing in his back 
garden, he would close the curtains. But when asked what he'd do if 
Manchester United were training on his front lawn, the witty Scotsman 
replied: "I'd probably go for a big steaming shit. Now fuck off before I 
deck you."

Shanks's long-suffering wife Nessie had an endless supply and recollection 
of comments and things that Bill would come out with. In an interview with 
Granada Reports' Bob Greaves in 1982, she said: "Bill was always making me 
laugh, and he was always there with something clever, some quip to keep us 
all amused. Once, when I asked him to go to the shops for me, he had the 
place in hilarious uproar when he replied, 'Shall I get some milk while I'm 
there?' Yes, he was a very funny man indeed."

Shankly was also noted for the way he did not suffers fools. After Liverpool 
had been knocked out the FA Cup by Watford in 1970, a reporter asked Bill if 
he was disappointed, to which the Great Man retorted: "Disappointed? Come 
here and I'll show you how disappointed I am, you fat cunt. Come on...any 
time, soft lad."

But Shankly, typically, left his last great quote until last. In September 
1981, just as he was about to die, he turned to his family and said: "I 
think I've just shit in my pants."

Truly a great man.
