A decade of 80s football: 1982/83

As Ron Atkinson would have doubtless said, it was a case of déjà vu all over again in 1982/83, with Liverpool romping to the league title and retaining the League Cup. But there was change elsewhere, with Tottenham’s iron grip on the FA Cup finally released, Big Ron  getting his hands on a trophy, much to the delight of Gerald Ratner. Graham Taylor’s Watford blitzkrieged their way to second place in their first ever crack at the First Division while Manchester City get relegated and David Pleat straps on his dancing Hush Puppies.
