First Division 5th

League Cup Winners
Charity Shield Winners
Top goalscorer League: Terry McDermott (13)
All: Terry McDermott (22)

It was a season of contrasts for Liverpool F.C. as they won the European Cup for the third time by defeating Real Madrid 1–0 in Paris, and winning the Football League Cup for the first time by defeating that season's Second Division champions West Ham United after a replay at Villa Park. They also beat West Ham in the Charity Shield.

The Football League season turned out to be a big disappointment after successive titles in previous seasons, by only finishing fifth, and then losing to Everton in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. It was to be the last season for a few players, and with Bob Paisley looking to the future bringing in players who would go on to feature regularly for the club for the rest of the decade and the 1990s.
