We now head back to May 1980 when the Reds secured their 12th title, and second in consecutive seasons, by beating rivals Manchester United to the punch.

David Johnson scored inside three minutes to set Liverpool on their way, although they were pegged back when Avi Cohen put the ball through his own net to level the scores.

However, Cohen atoned for his error scoring his first goal for the club, before another Johnson strike and a Noel Blake own-goal wrapped up the three points.

Liverpool went on to beat United to the title by two points.
