You’ll Never Walk Alone – Liverpool Quotes

You’ll Never Walk Alone – I was on the Liverpool FC Website the other day and came across some killer quotes from Managers/Players etc past and present so I thought I’d share them with you…. 

“Should the aggregate score be level after 90 minutes, extra time will be played.” – Fulham’s Match Day Programme for the second leg of the Littlewood’s Cup Tie 1986-87 – Liverpool were 10 – 0 up from the first leg!  

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 

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

“The difference between Everton and The Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers” – Bill Shankley 

On awaiting Everton’s arrival for a Derby game at Anfield, Bill Shankley gave a box of toilet roll to the doorman and said “Give them these when they arrive – they’ll need them” 

“Our job is to make the fans happy. When we win, 45,000 people go home happy. When we lose, it not only affects them, it affects their cats.” – Gerard Houllier 

“I notice a former captain of ours said recently that this squad is so good that we don’t need a manager. I took this as a great compliment. He must have changed his mind since leaving as he said at the time that Phil Thompson and I would drag the club down. On that point I suppose he was right – we dragged the club down to Cardiff three times in the last 10 months.” Gerard Houllier referring to comments made by Paul Ince 

“We scored 127 goals – the third highest total in the club’s history. Although, if you believe everything you read in the papers, 126 probably came from a breakaway from the edge of our penalty area. The other one was probably an own goal.” Gerard Houllier 

“Take that bandage off. And what do you mean about YOUR knee? It’s Liverpool’s knee!” Bill Shankly to Tommy Smith, who had a bandage on his injured knee 

“How could I leave after a night like that? It was the greatest night of my life.” Steven Gerrard after winning the Champions League in Istanbul.

 

“As a manager you are important sometimes and you make mistakes, but the most important people are your staff and your players. Never call me the special one!” Rafael Benitez.

 “We were sitting in the dressing room and we could clearly hear thousands of fans singing You’ll Never Walk Alone. Can you imagine how that felt? We were 3-0 down in the Champions League final and all we could hear were 45,000 people letting us know they still believed in us. We knew they had endured a long journey and made so many sacrifices to be there. It was at that point we started to believe too.” Luis Garcia on what inspired the amazing comeback in Istanbul.

“Who’s bigger than Liverpool?” Jamie Carragher when asked by Sky Sports if he’d thought of moving to a bigger club.
