A hotel named after Bill Shankly will include a museum filled with memorabilia relating to the former Liverpool manager.

Work has begun on the Shankly Hotel, which will contain 83 bedrooms and be situated in the former Liverpool City Council building on Victoria Street.

According to BBC News, 70 pieces of memorabilia, which have been given to the hotel by Shankly's family, will be on display at the venue.

The collection will include NASA badges given to him by Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in the 1970s, as well as the key to the Shankly Gates.

The £20m hotel is expected to be completed in August.
