Optimistic Nut 31 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Just been on Sky Sports News plugging his autobiography. He says how Bill Shankly asked him to sign for Liverpool, then Division Two, but Ian St John said, "You joking? I've already agreed to sign for Newcastle...plus what about my wife and kids?", to which Shanks replied with, "leave them with your mother-in-law". A few weeks later, his family were still in Scotland, and Ian St John was a Liverpool player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
