Synopsis
After a seven year drought following the win of the league title in 1965/66, the Reds, lead by the legendary Bill Shankly, started out on almost a decade's run of success when they claimed the UEFA Cup in 1972/73, followed by the FA Cup again in 1973/74. Shankly then surprisingly called it a day, handing over the managerial role to his right-hand man Bob Paisley. It wasn't long before he won silverware, taking the league championship and UEFA cup in his second season, 1975/76. Next year they just missed out on the treble, winning the League and beating Borussia Moenchengladbach in the European Cup, but losing 2-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup final. They became the first British club to retain the European Cup, beating FC Bruge 1-0 in the final of 1977/78. Two successive League titles followed in 1978/79 and 1979/80. Written by prolific writer Phil Thomson and illustrated throughout with over 150 iconic images of that decade, this is the story of the heady days of the 1970s, when Liverpool were probably the best in Europe.
