Liverpool won their first League Division One title under Bill Shankly after a thumping 5-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield, on this day in 1964.
Goals from Ian St John, Alf Arrowsmith, Roger Hunt and a double from Peter Thompson did the damage on an afternoon that also saw the BBC's Panorama programme film the Kop - reporting on this 'extraordinary cultural phenomenon.'
It was a glorious moment for Shankly and a new Anfield dynasty was about to begin.
Elsewhere on this day in LFC history in 1984, Ian Rush notched up a century of strikes for Liverpool as the Reds were held to a 3-3 draw at Leicester City.
The iconic Welsh frontman took his tally to 100 goals in just 166 games with the second of Liverpool's three efforts after Ronnie Whelan had struck in the first-half.
John Wark grabbed the third and final Reds goal nine minutes from time but it was not enough to claim all three points.
