However Liverpool did not regain the European Cup, having been knocked out by Widzew Łódź in the Quarter Finals and surprisingly being knocked out by Brighton & Hove Albion in the 5th Round of the FA Cup. Add a difficult to believe factoid. Liverpool lost 5 of their last 7 league games and drew the other two. Yet they finished the season eleven points ahead of the second-placed Watford.

After nine years Bob Paisley had decided to retire after winning six league championships, three European Cups, three League Cups, four FA Charity Shields, one European Super Cup and one UEFA Cup.
