The West Cumbrians topped Northern Premier League Division One North West prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this year.
In late March, their league was declared null and void as a result of the virus, leaving Workington facing an uncertain future.
Efforts have now centred on raising £50,000 to keep the club alive – and football fans have rallied to their cause.
Liverpool legends John Aldridge, Alan Kennedy and Jimmy Case have posted their support on the club's fundraising page, which you can visit here.
Shankly arrived at Workington in January 1954 and steered the struggling side to safety in Third Division North.
