1964–65 Liverpool F.C. season

The 1964–65 season was Liverpool Football Club's 73rd season in existence and their third consecutive season in the First Division. The club won its first FA Cup thanks to a 2–1 extra time victory against Leeds United in the final. The club's first final for 15 years saved a season in which Liverpool slipped from first to seventh in the league, and controversially collapsed at the hands of Inter in the European Cup semi-finals, in the club's first season in European competition.

Liverpool experimented with red shirts, shorts and socks during this season. The all red strip was used only in a number of European Cup and FA Cup matches, with League matches played in white shorts. The club permanently switched to a full red strip at the start of the 1965-66 season.[1]
