1974–75 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool F.C. had a trophyless first season under the guidance of Bob Paisley, who took over as manager following the retirement of Bill Shankly after nearly 15 years at the helm. They did finish second in the First Division behind champions Derby County, in a record-tight season that saw the top ten teams separated by less than ten points. A defeat in the penultimate round against newcomers Middlesbrough cost Liverpool a ninth league title. Liverpool also recorded a record low attendance with 14 fans travelling to West Ham United due to fears of West Ham’s firm.
