Remember the man who led us to our first European Cup in 1977 Bob Paisley

REMEMBER SIR BOB

Richard says as the realisation that Liverpool are Champions of Europe starts to sink in now is the time to remember the man who led us to our first European Cup in 1977 Bob Paisley.

When the heady exploits of a magnificent performance against AC Milan finally begins to sink in and we are all back in work please spare a thought for our most succesfull manager ever, Bob Paisley.

Now Bob, as I am sure you all know, won three European cups for us as well as the UEFA Cup. At home there was also six League Championships and three League Cups making Liverpool THE major power at home and abroad during his nine-years at the helm. Now as you know Bob never received a Knighthood for these amazing achievements and nobody seems to give a damm about this.

I heard a while back about Spurs fans attempting to get a posthumous gong struck for Bill Nicholson so why cant we do the same for our most succesfull manager? Surely he deserves one. It may sound like sour grapes but Matt Busby received one for helping Man U become the first English club to win the European Cup, Bobby Charlton gets one for helping England to win the World Cup.

As for Alex Ferguson, yeah magnificent treble and all that, but he has yet to turn United into a team to fear across Europe. Under Bob Paisley we played eight straight years in the European Cup and as I mentioned before Bob won it three times.

Something needs to be done NOW and I am sure that Tony Blair will listen especially as we are now champions of Europe.
