After a second place league finish in 2009 he oversaw changes to his side which took the Reds further back again and found himself restricted by Owners who he did not get on with.

Souness it can be argued tried to hard for success at Liverpool. He knew what success meant to the fans but in 1992 he sold his story to the s*n newspaper which rightly turned many against him. From the Hillsborough disaster onwards the S*n should be boycotted by every LFC supporter for the unsubstantiated drivel it wrote about lfc fans. |

He went on to become a great though winning 6 championships, 3 league cups a UEFA cup and 3 European Cups. he has a set of gates outside the Kop dedicated to him. |

When Shankly signed from Huddersfield the Reds were in a state of disrepair on and off the pitch but with Shankly's working class ethos and great psychology on players he turned the Reds into greats and was the man behind the introduction of the a red Strip we see today. Shankly was a proud man and has put so much desire into the liver bird today. |
