The book is compiled by Karen Gill, the great man's granddaughter, who called him Grandy while the fans called him The Messiah . There have been many Shankly books but this one, featuring marvellous photography from the unique archive collection of the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, will be the definitive official record of his remarkable life officially endorsed by Liverpool FC. THE REAL BILL SHANKLY published by Trinity Mirror Sport Media is a book every football fan will want to read. He was of an age when fans came before commercialism. Every single one of them mattered to Shankly. He was unique.
