Bob Paisley OBE was an English professional football manager and player who played as a wing-half. He spent almost 50 years with Liverpool and is regarded, due to his achievements with the club, as one of the greatest British managers of all time. Rob talks about this icon in this episode with essential lessons that can be used from the great mans career. KEY TAKEAWAYS Bob Paisley followed Bill Shankly into the manager position at Liverpool. In 1974 after the FA Cup Final win and Bob was offered the job he initially refused it. Bob was not a great communicator according to a significant number of players, so much so that his team talks were faltering and littered with forgotten names. He recruited Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen and Graham Souness, three of the top players around at that time. His success was largely due to his trust in his team, his knowledge of the people he worked with and his drive to constantly improve. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s so much to talk about with Bob, although it could be said that he was a very simple man. I’m not actually sure whether Bob would have been as successful now as he was in his own time.’ ‘There was almost an air of the players making it up themselves and its absolutely phenomenal.’ ‘The thing that goes through all this, that created his success is that he knew the game so well, he knew players and he knew what players could do and what he wanted.’ ‘I thinks its an example of Bob’s and Liverpool’s belief in themselves and the way that they were doing it and I think the success that they were having at that time.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.

Rob takes wisdom from “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. What has the autobiography of a rock star got to do with football management you may ask? Listen on and find quite a lot.

Rob Interviews Joe Corrigan, who is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the Football League for Manchester City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Norwich City and Stoke City as well as the England national team.

When you are moving towards a worthwhile goal there is an almost universal consistency of sacrifice and consequently, following along, regret. Rob is inspired to define what these mean to him and experiences denoting things given up or left behind by necessity of reaching a target achievement.
