Favourite LFC quotes

[Morph]

Okay in this boring time of international breaks i'll try and liven the place up a bit

From Shankly to Rafa, there's been some brilliant LFC quotes along the years, not just from managers tho, also from players, lets us this thread to share a few of them, we all know the obvious ones, but there might be some lesser known ones that people haven't heard before, i'll leave it to someone else to start us off

Jesus Saves, But St John Scores The Rebound

Outside of the obvious ones, my favourites are:

"I hate talking about football. I just do it, you know?" Robbie Fowler

"Bruce Grobbelaar will play on until he is 40 - and at the top level." Bruce Grobbelaar

"There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing." Gerard Houllier

On awaiting Everton's arrival for a derby game at Anfield, Bill Shankly gave a box of toilet rolls to the doorman and said: "Give them these when they arrive – they'll need them!"

"We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday." Gerard Houllier.

"There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing." Gerard Houllier



"We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday." Gerard Houllier.

I lapped up the Houllier quotes at the time, but the more I think about them more cringeworthy they seem to become. Don't forget "10 games from greatness" etc which in hindsight made us a bit of a laughing stock and "reach for the moon and you might land among the stars" etc

I can't remember the exact quote but I remember 1 year in the nineties, Roy Evans was asked by a journalist where he would be watching the upcoming CL Final and he said he wouldn't. The journalist was taken aback as Evans went on to explain that he would be on holiday as always as he "couldn't bear to see any other team get their hands on our trophy - my son used to sleep with the European Cup you know".

I thought of him the day after Istanbul...

And in Athens as well

I remember you mentioning that Evans quote when talking about how heartbreaking it was watching Maldini and Inzaghi with the trophy. Amen brother.

[Stanbull]

"If Everton were playing in my back garden I'd draw the curtains" Bill Shankley

"Last time I was here I was in a Tank" Bob Paisley Rome 1977

I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is. But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon by kevin keegan

In my time at Liverpool we had the two best teams on Merseyside; Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.


Bill Shankly

"If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later." Bob Paisley

"Mind you, I've been here during the bad times too - one year we came second." Bob Paisley

"Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic." Emlyn Hughes R.I.P.

"It was like playing in a foreign country." Ian Rush on his time with Juventus in Italy

Still get a jolt of pain every time I see a photo of Maldini with that trophy.

My bad - you are of course, correct.

I often wonder how much pressure the "10 games from greatness" quote put on the players at the time

By all accounts, we should have beaten Leverkusen - Hamann's substitution killed us. We eventually finished 2nd in the league - but I think it was all done and dusted with a few games to go. I can't help thinking that that quote adversely affected the team.

I avoided any footage of Milan lifting it and all the newspaper pictures. Completely gutted.



Then watching Besiktas game it flashes up in the opening credits
