He again tasted the disappointment of defeat when he played in the 1971 FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal, but that was all put behind him when Liverpool earned a League title and UEFA Cup double in 1973, The Reds beat Arsenal by 3 points in the league and fought off a fightback by Borussia Mönchengladbach after The Reds had won the first leg 3–0 at Anfield Gladbach fell just short winning the 2nd leg 2–0 thus Liverpool gaining a 3–2 aggregate victory
The final proved to be the lowest point of Phil's season, and probably career, expecting to get the nod for the substitute role he was overlooked for Chris Lawler, a full-back.
The buses were launched at Anfield by Tom Wileman, Stagecoach Regional Director, and Liverpool FC legends Phil Neal, Alan Kennedy, David Fairclough, Ian Callaghan, Chris Lawler and David Johnson.
