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 2nd Division Brighton & Hove Albion in the 5th Round of the FA Cup.

After nine years Bob Paisley had decided to retire after winning Six League Championships, Three European Cups, Three Football League Cups, Four FA Charity Shields, One European Super Cup and one UEFA Cup.
