Stop making me feel old Stevie! 

That photo of Joe and Shankly chewing the fat in the tunnel at Maine Rd is one of my favourite football pics.

From Div Two to Champions in a few years. What an incredible achievement. And no-one has ever had a bad word to say about him that I have seen.

Not only was he a great manager but also a perfect gentleman. I had the pleasure of meeting him after we thrashed Chelsea three one after i had strayed into the shed. No tickets, just turnstiles. 1968

Could be any from 1966 to 1970, but our first home game after promotion in 1966 was against Liverpool so it could easily be then.
