Liverpool F.C. won the FA Cup in Bill Shankly's 14th and final season in charge. Announcing his retirement two months after winning 3-0 against Newcastle in the Final, Shankly was hailed by the fans as a hero, when heading into retirement. Kevin Keegan scored twice in the final, further confirming his status among the Liverpool faithful. However, the club's second-place finished in the league saw them lose their defence of the league title to Leeds United.
