On Saturday afternoon, Liverpool will return to Wembley as the club looks to secure an eighth FA Cup title.
The Reds first tasted success in this competition during the 1964/65 season under the guidance of legendary manager, Bill Shankly. Prior to Shankly’s appointment in 1959, Liverpool had suffered defeats at the final hurdle of the FA Cup at the hands of Burnley in 1914 and Arsenal in 1950 and it seemed at one stage as though success would never arrive.
But in 1965, Liverpool’s luck changed at the expense of Leeds United. Forced into extra-time on the day, Shankly’s side scored twice through Ian St John and Roger Hunt to secure silverware.
