2. Wolves 1-2 Liverpool - May 31, 1947
Having hit top form during the season run-in, George Kay's previously unfancied Liverpool headed into their final game of the 1946-47 campaign needing to beat league-leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux to leapfrog them into top spot.
In front of a crowd of more than 50,000, LFC's joint-top scorers for the season - Jack Balmer and Albert Stubbins - fired the Reds into a 2-0 half-time lead.
Liverpool fan Jimmy Dunn got one back for Wolves after the break but the Reds, and particularly goalkeeper Cyril Sidlow, held firm in the face of a second-half onslaught to claim a table-topping victory.
However, due to a dire winter and the postponement of multiple games across the league, title challengers Stoke still had a match to play. Victory at Sheffield United would hand the Potters the championship on goal average, but the fixture would not take place for another fortnight, on June 14.
Liverpool played Everton at Anfield in the Senior Cup on the same day, kicking off 15 minutes after Stoke. And, 10 minutes before the end of a 2-1 win over their Merseyside neighbours, news filtered through that Stoke had been defeated. Liverpool were champions.
