Shankly: Nature’s Fire

[justinr73]

Well worth a watch on BBC iplayer.

Lawro does the PNE bit.

Shanks says that he wasn’t keen on joining us from Carlisle because he was only getting 10 shillings more and he was further from home.

His brother Alec told him that it wasn’t what he was getting, it was about the opportunity of playing for Preston North End.

When Lawro joined PNE we were on decimal currency. It would’ve been £10 extra, surely? Mind you, that was a decent wage on its own in the early 70’s.

£10 was my weekly take home pay back in 1974
