Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

I have not been short of invitations to other clubs and have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool.

First is first,Second is nothing

I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.

In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

The socialism I believe in isn't really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it's the way I see football and the way I see life.
