I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

Well worth a watch. Why did three of the greatest managers of all time come from one small corner of Scotland? Also Stein & Shankly's friendship. Bill was the only British manager in Lisbon in 67. "John, you're immortal now!"
