- Having fallen behind Everton and Leeds in the league, Liverpool's attention turned to the FA Cup. Wins over Coventry, Wrexham and Leicester saw them advance to the sixth round, where they would face Watford.
Presently barely avoiding relegation to the Third Division, Watford should have been a forgettable pushover as Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals. Instead, it would become one of the most significant matches of Bill Shankly's tenure.

Absolutely brilliant content 👍.... you honestly deserve more subscribers... 👏👏
Great series, and I'm a lifelong Evertonian. Takes me back to school when half the class were red and half blue. Growing up in Liverpool in the '60s was priceless. Nice that you finished the episode with the pivotal 2-0 victory for Everton at Anfield.
He also never mentioned the 3-0 win at Goodison. Everton were the best team though, no doubt about that.
Fantastic series, the research is amazing. Always have been intrigued by this era of transition and 'the Watford game'.
Great video.
Some of us remember Phil Chisnall at Southend United late 60s/early 70s.
Excellent presentation thank you
I can't help thinking that Shankly should've changed that Liverpool 60s side a lot earlier than he did before that Watford game
He was criticised for not changing things sooner.
I think Don Revie did the same at Leeds. He kept the main players for too long; they didn't win anything after Revie left.
Excellent research.
