Liverpool F.C. won its first ever FA Cup, thanks to a 2-1 additional time-victory against Leeds United in the final. The clubs' first final for 50 years, and the resultant title saved a season, in which Liverpool slipped from first to 7th in the domestic league, and collapsed at the hands of Inter in the European Cup semi finals, the clubs' first appearance in international competitions.

Liverpool also implemented red shorts and red socks, switching from its previous white versions. That created Liverpool's classic all-red colour scheme, that would become a trademark for the club in the future.
