The 1973–74 season was Liverpool Football Club ' s 82nd season in existence and their 12th consecutive season in the First Division . Liverpool won the FA Cup in Bill Shankly 's 14th and final season in charge. Announcing his retirement two months after winning 3-0 against Newcastle in the final , Shankly was hailed by the fans as a hero, when heading into retirement. Kevin Keegan scored twice in the final, further confirming his status among the Liverpool faithful. However, the club's second-place finishing in the league saw them lose their defence of the league title to Don Revie 's Leeds United .
