HI all,

The 14th of February holds a significant meaning to all Liverpool Supporters this season. not only is it the date of the re-arranged fixture against Arsenal. but also the 10th anniversary since the passing of a true Liverpool Legend in every sense of the word. Uncle Bob Paisley sadly succumbed to althezimers and passed away on this date in 1996. I want to start this as thread as a query as to wether the club intend to mark the occasion of Bob's passing with a tribute of some kind before the kick off of the match against Arsenal. I've seen mentioned on various other Liverpool sites that the anniversary is fast approaching but no one seems certain that the club is planning any sort of tribute to the GREATEST manager in English footballing history. for Over 40 years Bob gave tremendous service to this football club, but has now become it seems a bit of a Forgotton man in terms of remembrance. many of those who were supporters of the club during Bob's Tenure as Manager will look back fondly at a man who was always Humble in victory and also publically gracious in defeat (something a few managers today could learn about)

 

Bob has immortalized already by the club with the paisley gates, but is it time now for a more permanent tribute such as a statue ala the shankly one. I understand that Bill started the Dynasty of success for our club, but without Bob to take over and have the phenomenal amount of success in a job he didn't even want does arguably surpass the great man's achievements. and even in Death Bob, has had to live ( metaphorically speaking ) in Bill's shadow. i just feel as do many others that Bob now should be held in the same vein and regarded in the same esteem as Bill. if you agree, and even if you don't please respond here and maybe the MOds could make the feelings of the fans from this board known to the club. and maybe we can get something more permanent to immortalize Bob.

after every thing he gave the club and the joy he brought to the Fans i feel it's the least he deserves.

 

YNWA BOB PAISLEY.

cant believe its 10 years. i grew up watching his teams play. what a man. had an eye for spotting a player that i dont think was ever seen before him or seen since. the amount of inspired signings he made, often for buttons, was scary

It was said that he could tell if a player was carrying an injury even if the player himself didn't know.
