Liverpool and Leeds United. This was Wembley's first Charity Shield (the annual curtain raiser was usually played at the home ground of one of the teams, or a neutral venue), and the first Charity Shield televised live. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and Liverpool (FA Cup winners) beat Leeds United (the League Champions) 6-5 on penalties. David Harvey (keeper for Leeds) missed the 6th penalty shot, and Ian Callaghan stepped up to kick the winner into the back of the net (past Harvey!). The Leeds manager on that day was the newly appointed Brian Clough, and Liverpool were led out for the last time by Bill Shankly (this was the last trophy won by Bill Shankley as Reds Manager).
