One hundred years ago today, the most successful English football manager of all-time was born.

Bob Paisley led Liverpool to an incredible 20 trophies between 1974 and 1983 and is one of just two men to claim a trio of European Cups.

As a former Reds player, too, his association with the club spanned 44 years.

After hanging up his boots in 1954, the left-back joined the backroom staff and rose through the ranks to eventually succeed the legendary Bill Shankly, albeit reluctantly, as Liverpool boss.
