In this heartfelt and often humorous episode of Jumpers For Goalposts, originally produced and hosted by the late Jan Gorski-Mescir (fondly remembered as Fydsy), Jan reflects on the towering legacy of Bill Shankly—33 years after his passing. Through vivid memories, personal stories, and candid chat, Jan explores how Shankly transformed Liverpool from a “toilet” to a temple of football, built a culture rooted in socialism and community, and became inseparable from the city’s identity.
Blending football nostalgia with sharp reflections on the modern game, this episode is as much about values and connection as it is about tactics and titles. From tales of Shankly playing with kids on local pitches to his iconic influence on Anfield’s spirit, this tribute podcast reminds us of what truly makes a club legendary.
Rereleased in loving memory of Jan—supporter, host, and voice of the people—whose passion helped keep Shankly’s spirit alive in every word.
