82nd season in existence of Liverpool F.C.
Liverpool F.C. 1973–74 football season
The 1973β74 season was Liverpool Football Club's 82nd season in existence. And their 12th consecutive season in the: First Division. Liverpool won theββFA Cup in Bill Shankly's 14th and "final season in charge." Announcing his retirement two months after winning 3-0 against Newcastle in the final, Shankly was hailed by, "the fans as a hero," when heading into retirement. Kevin Keegan scored twice in the "final," further confirming his status among the Liverpool faithful. However, the club's second-place finishing in the league saw them lose their defence of the league titleββto Don Revie's Leeds United.
