Although I'm a Scot, I'd be proud to be called a Scouser.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

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.

Yes, Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.

Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.

I've had many skilful men and the likes of Peter Thompson, Ian St John, Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were the ones who caught the eye. But the best professional of the lot was Gerry Byrne. He wasn't flashy and he wouldn't score you goals. But he was hard and skilful and gave you everything he had. More than that he was totally honest. Which is the greatest quality of all. He was a true Liverpudlian who couldn't look his fellow Scousers in the face after a game unless he'd given everything he had for 90 minutes.

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