shankly had the opposite view of Johnny Giles then - in his book he said he
could not understand why players applauded the fans - the fans had come to
watch him not the other way round, and compared it to Frank Sinatra
Must admit when I read it as a youngster it put me off him a bit - we all know
the majority of players do not care about fans but please leave us with the
illusion

but the interesting thing was Shankly’s supposed take on the idea of the fans
thanking him, thanking the players …he apparently always took the line that it
should be that way round it should be "the club” in its broadest sense that
should thank the fans at every turn for making it such an honour to represent
them, and by extension represent the city, and that the
players/directors/managers etc should never forget that debt. We could do with
a bit of that sentiment from someone, and I think they would get the patience
and the crowd needed to do a proper job at Leeds.
