David Peace is our guest on this week’s episode of Voices Of Soccer. The author discusses his latest book, “Red Or Dead,” which details Bill Shankly’s period as manager of Liverpool football club from his appointment in 1959 to his unexpected resignation in 1974.

Host Kartik Krishnaiyer discusses several fascinating topics with Peace including the symmetry between Bill Shankly and the subject of Peace’s previous book (Damned United) — Brian Clough. David Peace also discusses what made Bill Shankly so unique, the transition from Shankly to Bob Paisley, and how involved Shankly was even after his retirement in 1974.

Red Or Dead is available from all booksellers.
