A decade of 80s football: 1988/89
And so the 1980s odyssey ends with a tumultuous season. We pay our respects to the Hillsborough disaster, with further podcasts to come on that subject, but this ONE concentrates on the football. Liverpool come through the tragedy to beat Everton in the FA Cup final, but a second double of the decade eludes them when it’s all up for grabs in one final game at Anfield AS Arsenal snatch the title from them. Brian Clough wins one more trophy with Nottingham Forest, while Chelsea and Manchester City enjoy hugely successful seasons – by getting promoted from Division Two. Different times.
