1985/86: Under Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool won the First Division, their 17th league title, losing only two league games. Key players included Dalglish, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, and Alan Hansen, blending goalscoring, creativity, and defensive organization. The team reached the League Cup final but lost 2–1 to Queens Park Rangers. European competition was unavailable due to the ongoing ban following Heysel.
1986/87: Liverpool retained the First Division title, with Dalglish, Rush, and Hansen again leading the way. John Wark and Craig Johnston added attacking support. Consistency and squad depth ensured another dominant domestic campaign, cementing Liverpool’s mid-1980s supremacy in English football.
