Can someone put down the words from the song in the first clip ?

[AFII]

All Say 'Thanks'

He was born in bonny Scotland
And he played the football game
He came to Liverpool in '59
To help us win again.
Then with his mighty Red Army
He marched to victory
He was the legend of his time -
our hero, Bill Shankly

So all say 'Thanks'
To the shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song, for all the world
Of this, his Liverpool home.

No matter where you come from
No matter who you are
Remember the year of '59
When The Reds, they found a star.
And how he shines so brightly
For the boys of Liverpool
Soon the world was about to find
This man was nobody's fool.

So all say 'Thanks'
To the shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song, for all the world
Of this, his Liverpool home.

The man he asked no favours
Just hard work - let's get it right
You can only succeed through dedication
And his men they all saw the light.
He gave this town his loyalty
And proved it all by success
So always remember, when we had Bill Shankly
We all knew we had the best.

So all say 'Thanks'
To the shanks
He never walked alone
Lets sing our song, for all the world
Of this, his Liverpool home.

(to Amazing Grace)

Shankly, Shankly, Shankly, Shankly (to fade)

Brought a tear

[Shanks]

HE MADE THE PEOPLE HAPPY.






About the This-is-Anfield plaque:
'This is to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against.'

'If a player isn't interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be !'

To Alan Ball after he'd signed for Everton:
'Never mind Alan, at least you'll be able to play next to a great team'
