PART 2: Sir Bob Paisley, Europe and The World



Bob Paisley, the Player:


Bob Paisley OBE, the Manager




Shankly's 55-year-old assistant Bob Paisley, was promoted to the position of manager for the 1974-75 season after failing to persuade his predecessor to carry on. Paisley was manager of Liverpool from 1974 until 1983, and during those nine years he became one of the most successful managers ever to take charge of an English club. His one and only season without winning a trophy was his first, 1974-75. His second season brought the first of six league titles.
In nine glorious years Paisley led Liverpool FC to six League Championships, three European Cups, three League Cups and a UEFA Cup. He was named Manager of the Year on six separate occasions and was quite simply the most successful leader in the history of the club.





The squad 1975/76 which were to win the league, Paisley's first in charge:


Clemence Claims:


Unquestionably one of the greatest ever nights at Anfield saw Liverpool edge through a pulsating European Cup semi-final tie v Saint Etienne with a late, dramatic winner from super-subs David Fairclough and the Kop certainly showed their appreciation:

Legend: Ray Kennedy

The homecoming:





Thommo walking in Kirkby:


1978-79

Kop idol Mighty Mouse Kevin Keegan left the club after the 1977 European Cup success. Anfield needed a new hero to worship. Keegan's boots and his famous number seven shirt was to be filled by a Scottish player called Kenny Dalglish. Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley both consider King Kenny to be the best player that has ever worn the Liverpool shirt. Few would argue as Dalglish was a magical player who isn't only a legend at Liverpool but also Celtic. After 321 games and 167 goals for Celtic, he joined the current European champions Liverpool for a record fee. He replaced Kevin Keegan as Liverpool's talisman. Kenny scored the winner in the European cup final in his first season. He was voted player of the year by the Football Writers' association in 1978/79 and after three more championship titles, King Kenny was crowned by both the PFA and the FWA at the end of the 1982/83 season. He was without a shadow of a doubt the best player in Britain.

"I just hoped that after the trials and tribulations of my early years in management, someone up high would smile on me and guide my hand. My plea was answered when we got Kenny Dalglish. What a player, what a great professional!" - Sir Bob on King Kenny



Where do you start with a season like 1977/78? The 7-0 rout of Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield? The 3-0 victory at Old Trafford? One of the finest teams ever to play in England cruised to the title with crushing dominance. Four defeats, 85 goals scored and a mere 16 against. Ah, but Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles went a season unbeaten in 2003-04, you say. But did they have the European champions in the division? A stunning year in more competitive times.


Manager of the year 1977:


''We won it in Wem-ber-ley..''


Champions again in 1978:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/dDW4aH6eC0U" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/dDW4aH6eC0U</a>


Not a classic by any means but Liverpool set new records with this win by becoming the first English/British side to win the European Cup twice.
Emlyn Hughes
became the first English captain to lift two European Cups, a feat that still remains to be emulated over two decades on.

'78 Celebrations:





Alan Hansen:
"It wasn't the best game in the world, but Kenny scored a great goal and we won 1-0 and joined the ranks of the great players who had won the European Cup. I remember going through Wembley about half an hour after the match with Terry McDermott and just saying, 'This is the greatest feeling I've ever had.

Jimmy & Friends:








1978-79 was a record breaking year as the league title was won with 68 points and only 16 goals conceded in 42 matches




Squad picture for the 1980-1981 season 


1981:
Liverpool v Real Madrid, May 27th 1981
Spanish giants Madrid were taking part in their 9th European Cup final and had won the cup on 6 previous occasions, but Liverpool were eager to join the ranks of those who had captured the trophy 3 times:


Even the Pope was goin' the match!

"Kennedy!








Tache of the year 1978:














Paisley signed some of Liverpool’s greatest players:


Bob's final signing, Jim Beglin:




The only domestic trophy to previously elude them, the League Cup, was also won that season with another defender, Alan Hansen, grabbing the winning goal.
A defeat to Manchester City on Boxing Day 1981 saw Liverpool drop to eleventh place but a string of victories brought the title back to Anfield. The League Cup was also retained. The emerging star of that campaign was Welsh striker Ian Rush.
It was more of the same the following year with both the league championship and League Cup being retained. Of Liverpool's eight league defeats that year, five were recorded after the title was already won. Eventually, the league was won by eleven points.


Bob's final squad photograph 1982/83:





Sir Matt Busby with Sir Bob;



A legacy to behold:


The distinguished journalist John Keith summed it up perfectly when he said 'Shankly lit the fire, Paisley fuelled it.'

 
In the summer of 1982, Bob Paisley indicated that the forthcoming 1982-83 season would be his last in charge. The players sent him out in style, winning the championship again alongside a third successive League Cup. The club was in good hands and following the tried and trusted ritual, Joe Fagan was appointed Paisley's successor from within.





"One of the things I keep reminding players is that when you're lost in a fog, you must stick together. Then you don't get lost. If there's a secret about Liverpool, that's it." Sir Bob Paisley

Hi mate, I began work on it but unfortunately my laptop was damaged and I lost the file which set me back,
there is so much success from the Joe Fagan era through to the end of Kenny that I didn't realise just how
big a task it would be, I began with the premise of doing a three part series but after Shanks and Sir Bob it felt
like it would need to be five, I haven't had the time to finish part 3 but I promise I will get round to it eventually
in the near future hopefully.
