King Billy quote
"Bottles, it has been said have been poised, waiting mouths left high, dry and unslaked as men in their Spion Kop hundreds have halted in silent expectation as Liddell burst through the opposing defence. On such occasions, it has also been said, normally sensible men have greeted the resultant goal by hurling still nearly full bottles into the air and others have been too stunned by the glory of the goal to catch them. Liddell, lifelong teetotaller though he is, would appeciate the compliment. There could be none finer, nor none more deserved." 2nd of July 1967 News of the World

A nice story about Billy - the gentleman 01.09.2010 During the season 1953/54 I was living in the tenements of Glasgow (The Gorbals) and my father who was a merchant seaman and ran the Atlantic Convoys during the war 1939/43 and would often sail into Liverpool before coming up to Glasgow for R&R during those war-time years where he met my mother, and my earliest recollections of meeting the great Billy Liddell was when my father met and struck up a friendship with Billy and he came to our house in that room and kitchen in Glasgow. At the time there was 7 of plus my mother and father and I can remember this very smartly dressed person and my curiosity over all those years and especially lately when I discovered that 1953/54 was a particularly difficult season for Liverpool Football Club. I was often full of wonderment that that man could be so humble as to come and visit what was very grim accommodation at the time. I can, therefore, understand that people could say so many good things about him both on and off the pitch. - Reg Isaacson
