Liverpool Football Club were today deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jessie Paisley, wife of legendary Reds manager Bob.

Jessie passed away in hospital on Wednesday morning at the age of 96 after being diagnosed with an infection of the heart last week.

She was right by Bob's side as he became the most successful manager in Liverpool FC's history, guiding the Reds to six league titles, three European Cups, three League Cups, one UEFA Cup and one European Super Cup during his nine-year tenure at the helm between 1974 and 1983.

"She was the driving force behind my dad," son Graham said today.

"She idolised my dad and was very much Liverpool Football Club through and through. In fact, the last piece of good news she got was the team beating the two Manchester clubs in the cups - she was very pleased about that.

"She was so fully supportive of what my dad did - she was always 100 per cent behind him. There was no side to her and she never begrudged the time he'd have to spend away from home.


RIP
 
I'm sure the big man will be pleased to hear her news; we've been shit, but his King is back now.
