RIP Jessie!
08.02.2012
Jessie Paisley who was married to Bob Paisley for half a century died this Wednesday morning 96 years of age. "She was the driving force behind my dad," son Graham told LFC.tv today. "She idolised my dad and was very much Liverpool Football Club through and through. In fact, the last piece of good news she got was the team beating the two Manchester clubs in the cups - she was very pleased about that. She was so fully supportive of what my dad did - she was always 100 per cent behind him. There was no side to her and she never begrudged the time he'd have to spend away from home.
"She was a schoolteacher most of her working life, so when my dad was off on his travels, she was very much the one in charge of the family. She controlled what was going on and even controlled my dad when he was at home - she was a very organised lady. In many ways, she was his unpaid secretary and would help him write speeches and respond to correspondence. Obviously the demands of football were different back then to what they are now, but she was very protective of his limited home life. If he came home and things were stressful, she knew when to say something or when not to mention anything about games - she got the balance right most of the time."
