Great poll. I expect the answer depends very much on age. I am sure that, had I been of an age to watch them, the Division 1, UEFA Cup or FA Cup winning sides would be the tops. My highlight as a fan was Wembley in 2000, though.
I started watching in 1986 so saw the 1992 and 2000 promotions. But the team I 'like the best' is the 2024 Championship promotion winning side, the camaraderie and spirit taking the division almost by storm after the League 1 promotion was awesome.

You’re probably right - who you saw/remembered will have an influence. For me it’s a hard choice between the ‘78 team, and the ‘81 team. But just look at this.

The Dutch maestros clinch it for me. This is also the season we were on for the quadruple until late in the season. TWTD

But '78 - Beattie and Hunter at their peak, Woods, Talbot (shame about the Viljoen spat, would we have won the final by more than one goal with him in the team ?) Whymark (although he missed the final), Osborne with that iconic goal.

Which is why I found it a tough call - but ‘81 edges it for me. I can understand why some would tip the other way.

We all remember this team but what amazes me ask anyone old enough to remember football before the premier league from any other club and mention the Ipswich team from the early 80s and most will be able to name these players verbatim.
I can't name more than three or four players from Liverpool's champions team last season.

Absolutely. I wasn't even quite born, but it's sad that the Cup winning team isn't getting any love. Mind boggling. I guess everyone thinks the FA Cup is tinpot. Really sad, that. It used to be such a special competition, and we won it fair and square.

I think you’re misreading the room. This hasn’t anything to do with what was won, but the players that made up the team in that year.

Their team was also full of players who played a huge amount of games for the club. Clemence, Hansen, Thompson, Sounness, McDermott, Dalglish spring to mind but also Sammy Lee, Ray Kennedy, Phil Neal. Different days in terms of turnover. I’m sure a lot of Liverpool fans think of that team most fondly.
