The Beatles were always very secretive about their Merseyside football alliances during the sixties – Liverpool or Everton – they gave away very few clues. So here’s the question… Did the Beatles send Bill Shankly and the Liverpool team best wishes for the 1965 Cup Final? The answer – yes they did! No I can’t imagine John, Paul, George and Ringo queuing up at the local Post Office either but here’s the proof, found among the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly’s personal effects after he died. And if you want to see the real thing – it’s on view at the Shankly Hotel in Liverpool. After the lockdown is over, of course.
