1966–67 Liverpool F.C. season
Liverpool F.C. 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.
