Got his autograph on a little white scrumpled piece of paper outside Old Trafford when we played the mancs. 78-79.
Looking very small, grey hair, long coat with scarf.
That is the memory i will always have of him.
He was walking in through a little thin red wooden door at the side of the stadium, don't know whether it was the players entrance or directors etc.
Obviously changed a bit since then.
I was taken down to Old Trafford by two friends of my dad.
(Dad is an Evertonian)
(Friends are Mancs)
I was sat in the Manc end with my Liverpool scarf on and nobody said a word.
Imagine doing that now..Comment

I was still a nipper when he died. Like all of us, i've seen the quotes, footage and interviews, and heard the stories off my Dad and Grandad. I truly regret missing that era in the flesh.
His legacy is amazing. Statues, gates, tributes, quotes everywhere, us lot talking about it now. Not to mention trophies, and the groundwork he laid for Bob and Joe.
It would take someone with far more eloquence than myself to describe where such strong feeling for a man, whose death precedes a lot people's birth's on here, comes from.
It started in 1892, but the fact that so many people say it began with Shanks, says it all.

Shanks
I am insanely envious of any Reds who met him. I would've loved, loved to have met him, and had an hour or so to pick his wonderful brain.
What an inspirational man.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment
