LFChistory.net bought bobpaisley.com earlier this year and we are about to relaunch a new version of the site which we hope will be the ultimate site for this fantastic man. We want to have a feature on the site called "Your views" and we are basically asking for your input on Bob Paisley in this thread to publish on Bobpaisley.com!

If you ever met him, those stories are especially cherished...

 

Cheers,

Nothing need be stated except for his record....

Whenever anyone ever starts on about just how good any manager is or was, I always get slightly frustrated, then I realise it doesn’t really matter too much. Because I know the truth. I watched it happen. As someone who isn’t a scouser, was never really a fan of Liverpool as a kid, even when Shankley was about.

 

What I saw, unfolding right before my eyes, so that even I could grasp was the sight of someone moulding and forming the best set of teams ever to grace the game. He altered all of it; from the way the players physically became slimmer and lither than the past, to their astounding fitness levels, to the tactics he employed.

 

I’ve seen the lot in my time: all the great teams; all the great players. All of them. And not one manager could make great team after great team like Bob Paisley could. Look at his record.

 

So let others go on about Sir Alex and everyone else they want to hold up as an example. It doesn’t really matter. Because like the jockey who rode the amazing Secretariat said once, ‘Personally, I never get involved when people start talking about greatness. Because none of them who ever talk about it, ever rode this horse. I did. I know‘

 

And that’s how I feel still. I’m nearly 60 now and I’m not likely to see a football manager again who could hold a candle to Bob Paisley. Let others yak on and talk. I know he was the best I’ll ever see in my life. I know.

He certainly knows his stuff.

Your opinion matters so little, it doesn't even exist.
