Liverpool players must play like a lion, give his all. There must be determination, commitment and resolve to be a Liverpool player.

Our job is to make the fans happy. When we win, 45,000 people go home happy. When we lose, it not only affects them, it affects their cats.

I used to stand on the Kop when I was here in 1969. The atmosphere and passion on the pitch as well as the terraces was intoxicating and Liverpool became part of me from that day on.

You can't say my team aren't winners. They've proved that by finishing fourth, third and second in the last three years.

When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.

We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday.

There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing.
