4. 1993 – Oldham claw their way back
With the league undergoing a massive transformation the year before, it was imperative that struggling sides did everything they could to stay up and cash in on the new money flowing around. Going into final day Southampton, Oldham Athletic and Crystal Palace were all vying to hang on and not join Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest in the second tier. A win for Palace and Oldham would see Southampton go down. Victory for Palace and a draw or better for Southampton would mean the Latics would be relegated. But as it went, Palace went down 3-0 to Arsenal, while goals from Neil Pointon and Ian Olney, Andy Ritchie and Gunnar Halle put the hosts 4-1 up at Boundary Park, with Matt Le Tissier bagging a race just to make things all the more tense.
