Robert "Bob" Paisley OBE (born January 23, 1919 in Hetton-le-Hole , County Durham , † February 14, 1996 in Liverpool ) was an English football player and coach who worked as a coach with Liverpool FC in the 1970s and 1980s celebrated great success.
Paisley moved from Bishop Auckland FC to Liverpool FC in May 1939 . The Second World War (he was deployed in North Africa and Italy ) prevented his debut. In the first post-war season ( 1946/47 ) he helped Liverpool to the championship title. In 1950 he was no longer considered in the FA Cup final against Arsenal , although he still scored in the semifinals. The following season, Paisley became captain. In 1954 he ended his playing career and initially trained the second team.
When Bill Shankly coached the Reds in December 1959, a great era would begin for the Merseyside club. Shankly made paisley his assistant coach and right hand man . In their fifteen-year collaboration, the coaching team led Liverpool from the second division to a total of three championship titles, two FA Cups and one UEFA Cup victory.
After Bill Shankly announced his resignation in July 1974, Paisley took over the head coach post. In his nine years as head coach, Liverpool won at least one title in eight seasons. After finishing only a disappointing second place in his first season, he won the championship the following year. This was to be the starting signal for Liverpool's greatest era - in Paisley's nine seasons as head coach, Liverpool won six championships, two runner-ups and the first three national championship trophies. Until 2014 he was the only coach who could win this title three times. Then he was overtaken by Carlo Ancelotti .
Paisley resigned in 1983 and was replaced by another former player, Joe Fagan . Paisley continued to work as a director for Liverpool until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease . After his death, the club honored him with the opening of Paisley Gates , one of the entrances to Anfield that complemented the existing Shankly Gates .
