Top 5 Great Escapes

[@Dench999or911]

West Brom No1 by far, table changed throughout the final day!

[@adzter96]

And none of these compare to Carlisle in Division 3 in 1998-99 season saved by a goal in 94/95th minute from an on loan goalkeeper Jimmy Glass in a must win match

Despite me only being 9, I can remember the West Brom relegation escape! Was one of those fairytale moments in football.

[@lorddarlo6194]

I was 1 but have watched that clip so many times UTA

[@RevolutionRapter5000]

West Brom is my personal fave.

[@thekeegster6278]

I’m biased, but the Baggies Great Escape was the best and most dramatic! Boing Boing Baggies!! 🔵⚪️

[@xanatar3009]

Jimmy Glass scoring in the 95th against Carlisle will never be beaten. Must win game vs Mid-table Plymouth to preserve over 70 years of being in the football league and your goalkeeper scores with the last kick of the ball to win it. Couldn't write a better script

[@leowatkins1518]

The West Brom will forever be the greatest for me. The squad of players they had was truly a bunch of past it championship old guard, and the fact that any 3 of 4 teams could have gone down on the last day. Agree also that wigan deserve atleast an honourable mention

[@beanboyo]

That West Brom survival is mental. Personally think that should have been numero uno.

[@Mrstench3566]

I think West Brom's was the greatest escape ngl

[@AlfredTheBrave]

fuck west brom

[@adioperta9874]

West Ham 2006/07 for me was far the best escape.

[@philh8288]

bottom at Christmas, bottom, at the last match of the season Bryan Robson got on the motorbike completed the jump! But it started before that with a 1-1draw at man.c. when we had no shots but Richard Dunne became an unsung hero with a last gasp own goal, we followed it up with great results at utd and Charlton. We just kept going. Even when we scored our second we were still in the bottom 3 and were there with less than 10 mins remaining no other side has ever completed a truly heroic and historic fate as west Bromwich albions great escape of 2005 infact it was the greatest escape ever! The stuff of Hollywood dream are made of.

[@Jonpaul2000i]

Sunderland's will always be the best considering the fixtures we had and beating Mourinho at Stamford Bridge

[@xdannyw92]

I'm sorry but how can you do better than being bottom of the league on the final day and still staying up. West Brom easily with the greatest Great Escape

[@Mkbw50]

Unbelivably, Chelsea stayed up in 2015/6

[@zombiesky5898]

Mkbw50 I know

[@henryvernon5755]

Leicester 100% should be higher up it will be looked back on as best ever escape but because it was this season people don't rate it as much

[@grant5329]

Nah

[@coolcol4492]

Agreed as a Leicester fan I do believe it was the best in premiership history. The fact we did it with one game to go and being 7 points from safety at one stage is even more impressive, if not as dramatic, as doing it in the final day of the season.

[@stealthiscool]

Overrated imo

Mate, its coz foxes never give up!

[@wowGERMIS]

This doesn't really anything to do with this video, except it's about football, but after watching the video about Blackpool fans fighting back, I wanted to tell a story about my own club going down (I'm putting it here so I get more attention I'm admitting sorry) It was the start of the season 2014 for my Finnish club Myllykosken Pallo -47 (MYPA), who were at the top level of Finland (Veikkausliiga/Finnish Premier League) and I was thrilled, as they've bought the manager with most trophies from the Finnish Premier League, Antti Muurinen. MYPA had bought big signings from the Finnish Premier League, even though in former years they had bought most of the players from lower divisions, as the team didn't have a very stable financial situation in any time. I was very thrilled, but despite that, the team was only 8th out of 12, two positions lower than they were in 2013, when everything was good. It was kind of disappointing for me, but the worst was yet to come. In winter of 2014-15, when the season had already been played, there were coming tweets about MYPA not getting the license to play at the top division, instead they were yet to be relegated in the lower division. I was shocked already at that time, but more shit was coming to my back as they informed to the media that they are not trying to get to division 1 or 2, instead the club had just fallen down from poor financial situation. To be honest, I was broke the next 2-3 months and I still am from it, but this just shows how arrogant some shits are with money and not thinking everything all way through. Sorry if there were any brainfarts, not a native English speaker but yeah...

[@skthejanner]

If you look away from the Premier League, look at league 2. Plymouth of 2011/12, Wycombe of 2013/14 and Hartlepool of 2014/15

[@samratchokshi]

How was wigan left out from this list?? The 11-12 season if I'm not mistaken.

[@jacob140899]

I'm sorry, but where's Oldham Athletic? In the first two seasons of the premier league where it was a 90th minute goal which kept us up.

[@GreggoD123]

West Broms escape was the best one tbf

[@cullengibbons9369]

Definitely still believe Leicester's escape was the best. It was very impressive. And Nigel Pearson deserves a lot more credit.

[@wiganjames2209]

I haven't a clue what this channel has against wigan, The 11/12 year we beat Liverpool at anfield, Man United, arsenal away, newcastle 4-0 in the year they were top4 for most of it all from end of March onwards. All was after being bottom for most of the year!

[@DiscGolfLeagueMVP]

James Stableford Fuck off, you cost us the title that year, as irrational as that sounds.

[@wiganjames2209]

[@brandongomersall97]

thecmk cono clearly he does and so do I.. You are wrong?

[@brandongomersall97]

Wtf?, how the fuck would it of been Leicester? 3 points would but us 3rd nowhere near the title... Bet you support some shit team

[@IamtheCitizen1110]

E1_KD and I thank them for that ;)

[@samharrison4953]

I personally think that Leicester's escape was the best ever because no team ever in the premier league have survived from having 15 points at Christmas and also they were 20th and down 2 months ago and now we're secure at 15th place with 1 game to spare!

[@RSN-Bran]

The fact that Wigan 2011/12 isn't on this list is ridiculous

[@bobwadd8156]

Sunderland was a good choice

[@littlehammerman]

West Ham's had so many sub-plots; the takeover, all the signings in January,Tevez finding form, then winning 7 of our last 9! Unreal.

[@mariorodr7guez759]

Look at where Leicester and WHU are now!

[@sponge_fps]

Leicester's should be higher up, but sunderland has to be the best. Being a sunderland fan, that lost to everton at home, i thought we were down. who could have guessed a win at chelsea and man united was to happen? One of the best season's ever. Wembley, being the mags, and a great escape, a miracle.

[@salkay7440]

This isn't in the premier league but truly one of the greatest escapes in history, back in the 80s, a certain club in West London who went by the name of Chelsea were having serious problems, hooligan trouble was giving the club a bad name, financial debt and problems increasing every week. In the second division Chelsea were surely going to go down to the third division of English football. In the last game of the season Chelsea faced Bolton away and results elsewhere meant Chelsea had to take all three points to ensure safety. In the dying moments of the game a long shot volley from Chelsea ended the game 1-0 with Chelsea staying up and allowing them to get their act together. Throughout the 90s the club began its rise in English football (became a regular mid table team) in the late 90s early 00s the club became regulars within Europe and then 2003 happened, the rest is history.

[@seancameron149]

I'm a West Brom fan and think it's pretty incredible we were bottom not just at christmas but on the last day and still managed to survive. However you have to give it to sunderland as their survival was almost all their own work.

[@TheJackmadman]

The Fulham survival season was the most memorable season of my life, although we got to Europa league final a few seasons later, the atmosphere at the cottage vs Portsmouth afterwards was mind blowing

[@tkb4026]

Nigel Pearson was part of the backroom team of the West Brom team of 2004/05 as well!

[@JamesGolightly]

Yay! Sunderland are first in something! Haha

[@joelnufc3706]

Yea u only stayed up after some appalling refereeing in loads of games giving u loads of daft pens and some abysmal displays by the teams u played near the end of the season

[@joelnufc3706]

And u should of had points deduced for that thing with signing players outside the window so lucky I would say

[@JamesGolightly]

Hahahaha, a Newcastle fan going on about appalling, oh my days.

[@joelnufc3706]

Hahaha a Mackem using technology oh my days

[@JHay]

Some people class us as having the best own goal too 😂😂 what a privilege

[@Lil-Richo]

leicester's seasons 13/14 - winners of championship 14/15 - survived relegation and finished 15th 15/16 - won the pl 16/17 - sacked ranieri and now shit again

[@oktopussy6779]

West Brom had the best ever great escape. Bottom on the final day to just survive! No team is beating that unless something like that happens again - which I doubt.

[@thejackvirus4550]

No one cares about your peasant club

[@lorddarlo6194]

We nearly did it in 17/18 but it never happened

[@ynyrglyn5037]

Everton in '98 deserves some recognition, survived on goal difference, needed a point and bolton to lose to survive.

[@joezoyhofski3111]

For me, the Connor Wickham inspired Sunderland will forever be the greatest and most mind boggling premier league relegation escape!

[@Polishkid88]

Portsmouth 2005/06 should be up there IMO

[@oliverblakeway8015]

If west brom manage to stay up this season it will be incredible

[@ryannavickas2266]

Where's the Everton 1993/94 season relegation escape? Final day of the season, 2-0 down vs Wimbledon, we had to win and hope that Bolton lost because if they drew, we'd have went down. But, penalty, a 30 yard half volley from Barry Horne and a lucky goal that bobbled in over the line saved us that day. For me, that's the greatest relegation escape to ever happen

[@cullengibbons9369]

I think Leicester's escape was by far the most impressive and it should be no 1. Just my opinion.

[@SurreyCasuals]

Fulham should be number 1. 2-0 and relegated at City with 2 games left. Fought back. Then mathematically relegated again with 15 minutes of the season left. Somehow survived.

[@danieleatwell7757]

yeah definately, 3 point adrift with one game left
