Liverpool in the 1970s

The Reds, led 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. They continued their success, winning league championships and the European Cup throughout the decade. Written by prolific writer Phil Thompson 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.
