No Ordinary Joe

I often think Joe doesnt get the recognition he deserves, even for his stint as manager never mind his service to the club. When Bob retired, our supremacy could have come to a grinding halt. Same as when Bob took over from Bill, I wondered whether he was up to the job.

 

But he exceeded expectations with his trophy haul. A humble man who always said he was keeping the seat warm for 'a younger man.' Nice work Joe. You wont be forgotten.

It's good that the offal do these sort of things. They've become very good at producing these little feature documentaries.

 

Good for the young generation of Liverpool fans to get a feel of how we came to be, and the great men behind it all.

Another reason why Paisley was better than Ferguson...Bob left a great side for the next man to come in and as you say the same as Bill did even though that doesn’t dismiss anything Joe did as he’s the manager and the buck stops and with him. 

Even though Ferguson left when he won the league it was an ageing squad with main parts that needed replacing and unlike Bob, Ferguson would have hated anybody taking over and doing something in one season say that he’d never achieved ....

Top top fella was Joe - an integral part of the success of the club following Shanks' arrival.

 

I've seen the post-Heysel clips and pictures a few times and it's so clear that the events of Heysel broke him. I recall reading some cynical fucking cunt (not sure who or where) claiming that Joe was just gutted that he'd gone out with a whimper after losing the league title and then the European Cup. Nope. That episode in Belgium crushed him, and this short doc makes that explicitely clear. When you simply cannot fathom in your own mind how something as awful as that could happen at a football match, how do you begin to cope with it?

Jurgen seems to be frequently losing his rag and yelling at the Main Stand. Did you ever get wound up by anything the crowd would say to you or the team? 
 
Roy Evans: There was one reserve game where this one fella kept heckling me and giving me stick. Shouting stuff like “you’re bloody clueless Evans”. It was relentless, it went on all game. In the end I was really starting to lose my rag and at the end of the game I turned around and was just about to give him what for, and then I saw it was Joe Fagan. He was laughing his head off!
