Classic Bill Shankley tactic.
I think it was in 1965, Liverpool won the FA Cup and were playing a European semi final the following wednesday evening. Sensing that the was nervousness on the terraces as well as in the dressing room, he sent two of the none playing squad members around the pitch 10 mins before kick off with the FA cup. The crowd lapped it up and by all accounts the atmosphere went up several notches.
