You`ll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm.
Hold your head up high,
and don´t be afride of the dark
At the end of a storm
ther´s a golden sky
and the sweet silversong of a lark
Walk on through the wind
walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
and you´ll never walk alone, you´ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
and you´ll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone.

I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

"Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all.
Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week.

"The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they don't know the game."

"A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe that you are the best and then make sure that you are. In my time at Liverpool we always said we had the best two teams in Merseyside, Liverpool and Liverpool reserves."

"Liverpool was made for me and I was made for Liverpool."

"If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing."

Om 'This is Anfield'-skiltet.
"It's there to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against."

Om avgangen fra Liverpool.
"It was the most difficult thing in the world, when I went to tell the chairman.
It was like walking to the electric chair. That's the way it felt."

"At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters.
Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques."
