About this ebook
The authorised biography of Bill Shankly.
Bill Shankly is one of football's greatest heroes. The former coal-miner from Ayrshire gave his life to football. Best remembered for his outstanding Liverpool sides that included Hunt, Keegan, Smith, Clemence and Hughes, he led Liverpool to three Championships, two F.A. Cup and the UEFA Cup.
Told with the full co-operation of his family, and including exclusive interviews with those who lived and worked with Shankly, this is the definitive biography of the man who, when asked whether football was a matter of life and death, replied: 'No, it's much more important than that'.

About the author
Beautifully illustrated, with rare archive material, the book will be a pastiche of a 1950s football annual. Aimed at the Christmas gift/nostalgia market (for the older, more discerning fan). Having written critically acclaimed biographies of Bill Shankly, Danny Blanchflower, Alf Ramsey and a recent history of the England team, Dave Bowler¿s contacts in the world of football veterans are second to none: features interviews with Bobby Robson, Don Howe, Malcolm Allison and Walter Winterbottom among others. There have been best-selling accounts of the lives of contemporary journeymen footballers (Gary Nelson, Steve Claridge, Tony Cascarino) ¿ this will be the first from another era.
