A message from Mal Liddell, Billy's son!

09.03.2009
"Its now in my 59th. year I am realising what my dad meant to many people. As a young child there was the journey to town I remember when just about everyone we passed acknowledged him. I always thought he knew loads of people, and didnt really know he was such a footballing icon. In this day with the massive salaries afforded to todays footballers the idea of playing the game for the love of it and the loyalty one might associate to one team is not as apparent as when my Dad played. The journey man footballer is all too apparent today. which really brings it home to you when you consider my Dad only ever played for Liverpool. It is superb that his memory still lives on."

King Billy quote
"Liverpudlians really did appreciate the knowledge that in "Our Billy" they possessed someone who was as good as any other footballer around including Mathews and Finney who were plying their trade at that time. Billy Liddell was the REAL DEAL. Billy's skills meant he was virtually unstoppable down either left or right wing, he was just as unstoppable at centre forward too. How hard he could hit that ball with either foot. His right foot was Dynamite and his left foot Thunder (borrowed from me DAD). Above all else he was a gentleman and a true sport. Whatever the provocation, whatever the circumstances, he was always a peerless ambassador for his club, his adopted City and his Country."
