Bill Shankly would like Jurgen Klopp's work at Liverpool - Steve Heighway

Liverpool legend Steve Heighway says Bill Shankly would approve of Jurgen Klopp's work at the club.

Heighway, who featured for the Reds 475 times as a player and now works as a consultant at the Kirkby academy, says the current condition of Klopp's Liverpool would be welcomed by Shankly, who led Liverpool to the top flight in 1962 and won three First Division titles, two FA Cups and the UEFA Cup.

Klopp has his team top of the Premier League playing a high-intensity style of football that is pleasing on the eye, while also providing the opportunity for young players to come into the side and prove their worth.
