4 days to go: Rehomed Shankly Gates unveiled at Anfield

Liverpool FC hosted a formal unlocking ceremony on Tuesday afternoon to mark the gates’ relocation. The event was attended by the Shankly family and Reds legend Ian Callaghan, who played under the iconic manager.

The Shankly Gates’ new home features permanent floor lighting, which enables them to be lit up in the evenings.

They were first unlocked on Anfield Road by Bill Shankly's wife, Nessie, in August 1982 - 11 months after Bill sadly passed away. The gates were placed into safe storage in February 2015 while construction work was completed on the expansion of the Main Stand.
