          which in reality would be a very real possibility, especially in the Republic.
          Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
          'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

          "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

          * After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

            I remember once drinking with a Welsh guy who said Ireland, Scotland and Wales should create their own nation, he called it Celtica - and so it begins
            "I'm sorry you'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel".
