I doubt anyone will see this down here but looking at those photos of Shankly reminds me of something I’ve long wondered about. It seems like someone could make a fortune by securing the rights to old soccer (or any other sports really) pictures and selling high quality prints of them. Each year around Christmas I look for old Liverpool prints for my brother brother but can’t seem to find anything. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right place but I’m sure there’s a market for these type of nostalgic pictures. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.
