Advent Calendar - on the 3rd day of Christmas…
Number 3
3 European Cups
Bob Paisley the most successful manager in English League history and former right-hand man to Bill Shankly who created the modern Liverpool, is the only manager in the history of the European Cup to have won it three times. Won it in Rome, defended it at Wembley and won it again in Paris.
It is a crying shame that Bob Paisley has not been recognised offically for his deeds, he’s my favourite manager, more than the mighty Bill as he took Liverpool FC onwards and upwards.
On the first advent of Christmas, its only right that we light a candle to a man and manager who will never be usurped, certainly not by any Johnny Come Lately Portuguese, certainly not by any long in the tooth and nose Scotsman and certainly not by any other manager I can think of in the world.
Bob Paisley, we salute you.
