I remember watching this interview when it was first broadcast. Shankly was asked what it was that made Jock Stein such a great manager. This was part of his answer. Btw, for what it's worth - re: best Celtic player. Kenny Dalglish ( my fav ) , Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson - in that order.

Why are Scottish managers the best in the world?
-
Liverpool in Shankly's day was egalitarian. No time for big egos and superstars. Better times.

never seen this before , looks like it was outside his home in bellefield ave ( a cul de sac) and next to evertons then training ground .
-
Stein, Busby, Shankly, Ferguson and Clough all fantastic managers all very down to earth guys and 4 out of 5 were Scottish. I think Clough would like to have been Scottish :-)

@thetoon99 im from where kenny was brought up,so theres that wee bit of pride round there about kenny,he was a great player,a legend really,the scheme i was brought up in used to churn out footballers-i played pro,was forced to retire at 33 through injury-as i said mc grory is related to me,i just think he/or others from b4 the 60s dont get the credit they deserve,james was more than just a poacher-he had so much more to his game-its nice being able to talk about the OF without petty insults :)
We don't have football men like this anymore....Stein, Shankly....legends in their own life and death. We were very lucky to have these men around for our clubs.
