The Greatest Escape in Premier League History?



In December 2014, Leicester City sat at the bottom of the Premier League. No team in league history had ever avoided relegation after being 20th at Christmas, with survival seeming impossible. Yet, the Foxes defied the odds, embarking on what would become one of the greatest escapes in Premier League history.

  1. Something not mentioned about Pearson, was that he'd helped Carlisle United escape relegation in the final seconds of his first season as a manager on the famous Jimmy Glass goal.

  2. Pearson deserves credit for finding that winning mentality that got carried on into the following season. I remember saying if they keep this up into next season, they'll get top 4. They ended up winning the whole thing

  3. It was an amazing escape that preceded their legendary title win so well. The reason Pearson was sacked anyway was because his son took part in some orgy while on holiday in Thailand, in case anyone's wondering. Very unusual circumstances, it has to be said

  4. From escaping relegation and then win Premier League in a span of one and a half season. The 2015-16 Leicester team will be legendary.

  5. I'm surprised no-one mentions Wigan's great escape in 2011/12. Wigan won 7 out of their last 9 games with wins at the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as beating Man United at home.
