 Liverpool got 68 points in the 1978-79 season, which was when it was still 2
points per win, and still a 22 team league.

Yes I was there but the memories are vague and I don't really remember the
goal. I do remember the score and that it gave us the record points haul of
67 (with only two defeats). Was the points total beaten ? I didn't think so
until after the 3 points change.

Liverpool got 68 points in 78-79 with 30 wins and 8 draws (and presumably 4
defeats).

[LU] Leeds 1 (Giles) Forest 0

[Rob Heath]

Playing Forest under the lights takes me back to one of the great nights of
my life.

1969. We had just won the league for the first time in our history with a
brilliant 0-0 draw at Anfield, and we had one game left v Forest at home. I
think the Anfield game was on the Monday and the Forest game just 2 days
later (that's how they did things in those days).although we were
already champions, 2 (yes,2!) points for a win against Forest would give us
a record number of points in a season.

And we did it, thanks to a goal by Johnny Giles, and I was there to see it.

I vaguely recall the goalI think it was an awkward cross from
the left which Giles managed to bring down in a crowded box and then hit on
the half volley into the top left hand corner.I ought to know
because I had a picture of him scoring it cut out from the YP in my
scrapbook and I must have looked at it a thousand times.
(Youngsters.that's what we did before the internet came along!)

After the game, the team paraded the trophy around a jam-packed Elland
Road.

It was a pretty crap game, but a fantastic night!

Were any other listers there that night?

P.S. I think that record still holds as the highest total until they
brought in 3 pts for a win.


P.P.S. Or perhaps it doesn'tnow I come to think of it I seem to
remember getting very cross when it was beatenpossibly by Clough's
Forest, ironically.
