#2 Liverpool 1-1 Leeds (6-5 on penalties), 1974
This particular match was a very important because of the two managers who have achieved a legendary status. The first was Bill Shankly who was leading his Liverpool side out for one last time as the club’s manager and the second was Brian Clough taking charge of Leeds United for the very first time during his short spell at Elland Road.
The game was the first Charity Shield match held at Wembley and also the first time that penalties were used to determine the winner. Liverpool emerged as winners in the shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
However despite the importance of the match for both managers, the game is remembered for what happened on the pitch.
Brian Clough had requested his team and especially Billy Bremner to play “good, clean attractive football, starting next week at the Charity Shield” as mentioned in the novel Damned United. Despite this Bremner got into a fight with Liverpool’s Kevin Keegan and they were both sent off, but not before Johnny Giles of Leeds punched Keegan. Bremner and Keegan missed 11 matches, as a result, but Giles got away with nothing but a bruised knee.
