A decade of 80s football: 1983/84
The midway point in our series, and not much changes as Liverpool win a third straight First Division title and a fourth League Cup in a row. But a new, blue presence is emerging at the bottom of Stanley Park with Everton reaching Wembley twice and carrying off the FA Cup, a portent of what is to come. Spurs win the UEFA Cup before Keith Burkinshaw walks out on them having had a visitation from the Ghost of Football Future, while Nottingham Forest miss out on that final courtesy of a brown envelope - a sliding doors moment for the mighty Brian Clough? Steven Scragg, Stu Horsfield and Chris Lepkowski recall an era where Howard Kendall and a Danish meat manufacturer began to look like a marriage made in heaven.
