Compare Shankly with Clough:
Clough - LP member, on picket lines with miners, member of the Anti-Nazi League.
Shankly is the false God they've elevated with the help of people who should know better but who've indulge them in their fantasy.

I was talking to my wife last weekend about the other lot and saying how weird and cringe worthy I thought their behaviour was.
My wife said "but if your dad had been a red, you'd have been just like them"
I genuinely felt ill at the thought of being one of them. The way they think they are simultaneously the biggest club in the world and hard done by underdogs; the patronising way they can speak about competitions they don't win ("Mickey mouse cup") but then if they do win it it's the best thing since sliced bread; the BS about being a "socialist club" when they are rinsing fans and breaking transfer records on goalkeepers and defenders; smashing up opposition coaches but demanding recognition for clapping away keepers at half time (the only club that's ever done that as well...); robbing their own fan's tickets in Athens and Paris. The list goes on and on...
