Deathrace 1,171 Posted July 22, 2018 Appears as a guest on the BBC Shankly documentary which was broadcast this evening. Didn’t look too bad all things considered. Certainly still has his marbles as well. Looks better than Dennis Law who sadly looks awful. Roger Hunt is also interviewed and looks ok and sounds lucid. No sign of the dementia Hunt was reported as having. If he does it must be early stages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meant to tape that I'll have to get it on catch up Did they dwell on Shankley's pre-Liverpool managerial career - like his time at Carlisle? Also, how do we know the interviews are that recent?

Deathrace 1,171 Posted July 22, 2018 Yes, fairly brief references to Carlisle. Lots of interesting interviews. It appears pretty recent but can’t be exactly sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,479 Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah I saw a similar feeling to Denis Law that gcreptile has to Pele (ie he wont see 80). But then I said I'd be shocked if Ric Flair saw 70 and he's 7 months off proving me wrong, so who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,479 Posted November 8, 2020 Ok, I missed this. Earlier in the year while talking up Jimmy Greaves ill health, Ian St John slipped in this bit to the Times where he reveals he's still having cancer problems: Quote Greaves suffered a severe second stroke in 2015. “I can’t even phone him because he can’t have a phone conversation and he was clever and sharp and bright and funny, it’s terrible,” St John says. He, too, has suffered ill health, which has made him wonder if he would still be here to see Liverpool win the Premier League title. “I haven’t been well with cancer problems and I’ve been saying, ‘Please let me see Liverpool win the title.’” Liverpool did win the title this summer, this is from the run in.

Fergie86 376 Posted March 2, 2021 Sad news a true legend brilliant player and pundit, would of thought Greavsie would of been the first to go out of the famous Duo as I thought St. John was getting better but I suppose when you have cancer you never know.
