Descrizione Mr. Shankly\'s Photograph
'Dear Mr Shankly, I don't suppose you will remember me but my uncle Horace used to live next door to you in Huddersfield when you were the manager there... I wanted to welcome you to Liverpool. I hope you will be very successful...' A holiday photograph of a 10-year-old lad leaning over the garden fence with Huddersfield Town Manager Bill Shankly is the starting point for an enduring bond. That photograph condemns Stephen Kelly to a lifelong passion for Liverpool Football Club, while Shakly's homespun philosophy opens up new perspectives for him. Few people in any walk of life - and none in football - have stamped their personality and individuality on a city and its folk as Bill Shankly did on Liverpool. Shankly, the Kop and the Cavern. Was there ever a more thrilling place for any young person than Liverpool in the Sixties? You never know how good it is until it's gone.
