ON THIS DAY: SHANKS ARRIVES

Bill Shankly was announced as the new manager of Liverpool FC, on this day in 1959.
His first game in charge of the Reds was not to be until December 19, but this announcement was certainly a case of Christmas had come early for the club.

A new era was born and Liverpool's fortunes were about to take a turn for the better under the great man.

Mon premier match à Anfield était le 18 décembre 1999 (contre Coventry), j'étais dans le Anfield Road end et il y avait une mosaique dans le Kop (en face de moi donc) pour le 40ème anniversaire de l'arrivée de Bill Shankly. Pour mon 1er match à Anfield, je ne pouvais rêver de mieux. :yes
