1954–55 Liverpool F.C. season

English football club season February 2015 February 2015 Liverpool 1954–55 Don Welsh Second Division 11th FA Cup Fifth round Billy Liddell (30) John Evans (33) 57,528 (v Huddersfield Town, FA Cup, 19 February) 24,073 (v Ipswich Town, League, 25 December) 36,150 _collar _hoops_white ff0000 ff0000 ff0000 ffffff ff0000 1953–54 1955–56 The 1954–55 season was the 63rd season in Liverpool F.C.'s existence and their first year in the Second Division since 1905, after their relegation from the First Division the previous season. Not only did Liverpool not make any sort of promotion challenge this season, a terrible start saw them in serious danger of relegation to the Third Division North for much of the season. A late run of form ultimately saw Liverpool safe, but their eventual finish of 11th place remains their lowest-ever Football League final position.
