Before this season, I think that was the longest season ever due to that bad winter and on the return we lost 11 on the bounce, at least we finished the season on a reasonably good note winning 3 of our last 5 matches.
That was Liverpool's first season back in the first division, after 8 years in the 2nd, the following season they finished as champions, under Bill Shankly.
Thanks for the post Dave
