This week Liverpool clinched their first first division championship in thirty years. This brought Liverpool’s trophy case to 49 major competitive trophies (depending on your feelings towards the 1985-86 Football League Super Cup) and provided an interesting story of perseverance and the breaking of a self imposed curse. Whilst the cries of “The Reds win their first championship in 30 years” did not mean a return to the classic form of the team that dominated the National League in the 1970s, it did mean that the club which ran English football for the better part of the 1970s and 1980s had restored some of its luster.
