6. 2000 – Bradford defy the odds
Paul Jewell’s knack for masterminding great relegation escapes began at Bradford when he rescued the Bantams from the brink against all odds. Going into the final game stranded in the drop zone, and knowing they would slip back into the second tier if Wimbledon drew, their result at home to Liverpool became an almost impossible take. However, the Dons buckled under the pressure at Southampton, while the Bantams sprung a shock on the Reds at Valley Parade. Defender David Wetherall nodded home a towering header to provide the crucial winner.
