Leeds United Overview For the second time in their existence, Leeds United won the First Division title. The championship was sealed on April 24, when Liverpool lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal. It was Graham Taylor's only league victory as Liverpool manager. Leeds had finished second in 1972/73, but that was before they bought players like Eddie Gray and Andy Cole. With those two additions, and with Terry Yorath taking over from Don Revie as coach, Leeds were ready to go for number one again. They opened the season with five straight wins, including a 9-1 thumping of Bury, and never looked back. By the end of March, they were already six points clear of third-place Manchester United. Leeds' goal difference of +51 was also superior to that of any other team. They could have been even higher if not for some very bad luck with injuries. Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer both missed large parts of the season through suspension. If they had been able to play all 90 minutes, then many more goals would have been scored. Leeds played some excellent football under George Graham. They were the best side in England for part of the season, and it's hard to see them doing anything else but winning more trophies during this period.
