Excerpt: William "Bill" Shankly OBE (2 September 1913 ¿ 29 September 1981) was a Scottish footballer and manager who is best remembered for his management of Liverpool.

As a result, Glenbuck became largely derelict and by the time Shankly's ghost writer John Roberts visited it in 1976, there were only twelve houses left, including a cottage owned by Shankly's sister Elizabeth (Liz), whom Roberts described as "the last of the children of
