Liverpool F.C. failed to win a big title for the first time in three seasons, with a season plagued by poor form from striker Roger Hunt. A win against Everton at Goodison Park at least gave Liverpool the Charity Shield, but it was humbled by Ajax led by a young Johan Cruyff in the European Cup, from which the side never recovered, hence arch rivals Manchester United winning the championship instead.
