1972: Ole the Rams!

Question: Who are the only English club to win the title in Spain?

Answer: Derby County in 1972!

Brian Clough's Derby had completed their games with a win over Liverpool and sat on top of the table. But Liverpool and Leeds both still had a game to play, which could have seen either, or both, of them overhaul the Rams.

Assistant manager Peter Taylor took the team to Spain to await their fate, as their title rivals took on Arsenal and Wolves respectively.

As it turned out neither won, and both Derby and Clough had their first title win.

1977: The Bristol - Coventry Survival Plan

Coventry City were the great escape artists during a top flight stint lasting over 30 years. They achieved a number of miraculous escapes including in three consecutive seasons during the mid-eighties.

They also survived in extremely controversial circumstances on one occasion.

In the last game of the 1976/77 season they faced fellow relegation strugglers Bristol City. Both teams knew that a point would be enough provided Sunderland lost at Everton.

Crowd congestion at Highfield Road meant the kick-off was delayed so that by the time the game entered its final minutes news of Sunderland's defeat at Goodison was flashed on the scoreboard.

With the score locked at 2-2 the teams then shamelessly ran the clock down, with neither making any attempt to find a winning goal. Sunderland, of course, appealed to the FA, but the result stood, and they were relegated.

1986: Dalglish Delivers

In the eighties English football was dominated by the Merseyside giants, Everton and Liverpool, as they exchanged 7 titles between them during the decade.

Everton's triumphs came in 1985 and 1987, but the 1986 title race is the one that will live longest in the memory.

The season had seen an exciting head-to-head battle between the Reds and Blues which went down to the final day.

Everton played first and hammered Southampton 6-1, to top the table.

Liverpool had a more difficult assignment at Stamford Bridge. But they could afford to draw against Chelsea and still win the title.

In the event they won 1-0 with player-manager Kenny Dalglish getting the winner.

1989: Arsenal Snatch It!

In the closest finish to a top-flight season ever, Arsenal had to go to Anfield and beat Liverpool by two goals or more to snatch the title. The equation for Liverpool was equally simple, they could afford to lose, but by no more than a single goal.

After a goalless first-half, Alan Smith put Arsenal in front early in the second period. And that's the way it stayed as the clock ticked down towards another Liverpool title triumph.

Then, a last ditch attack saw the ball drop to Michael Thomas on the edge of the box. The midfielder cooly lobbed the onrushing Bruce Grobbelaar to snatch the title for Arsenal with the last kick of the game.

1994: Sweet Survival for Toffees

Everton's long tenure in the top-flight came under serious threat in the 1993/94 season.

The Toffees had been top of the table after winning their first three games, but then it all went wrong and despite a change of manager they arrived on the final day in 20th - the final relegation slot.

Their opponents on the day were Wimbledon - secure in 6th place and seemingly with little to play for. But if Everton thought they might be in for an easy afternoon they were soon disabused of that notion, as the Dons raced into a two goal lead.

Graham Stuart handed Everton a lifeline with a penalty before half-time, and then a 30-yard screamer from Barry Horne got them level. With results elsewhere going their way that would have been enough but Stuart scored a second to still Everton nerves.

Oldham, Sheffield United and Swindon were relegated.

1995: Rovers Wear the Crown

Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and...Blackburn Rovers - teams that have won the Premier League title.

The least likely of that quartet, Blackburn, did it in 1995 on the back of some hefty investment by Sir Jack Walker, but it was a close run thing.

Entering the last day, Rovers had to win at Anfield to be sure of the title. If they lost or drew, Man United could snatch it with a win at West Ham.

Things started well against Liverpool, with Alan Shearer putting them in front. But goals from Jamie Redknapp and John Barnes looked to have spoilt their party. That is, until news came through from Upton Park - United had been held to a 1-1 draw, Blackburn were champions.

1999: The Treble

Manchester United made history in 1999 by landing a historic teble of League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League - an achievement which earned their manager, Alex Ferguson, a knighthood.

But they could so easily have ending the season with just the FA Cup - a fairly routine 2-0 victory over Newcastle - to show for their trouble.

Lady luck was certainly with the Red Devils that season as they were pushed all the way by Arsenal in a title race that went to the final day. Needing to win, United were up Tottenham. And they fell behind to a Les

Ferdinand goal before strikes by Andy Cole and David Beckham won them the game - and the title.

Then to the Champions League where Bayern Munich had the better of a tight game and led 1-0 with 90 minutes up. The Germans must have thought they'd won it, but injury time goals from Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned the tie on its head, and United had their treble.

2000: Cock-a-Hoop Bantams

Bradford City's promotion to the Premier League in 1999 surprised many people but few expected them to spend more than a single season in the top-flight. And, despite an opening day win at Middlesbrough, the Bantams soon gravitated towards the relegation zone where the spent the bulk of the season.

They looked doomed until back-to-back wins against Sunderland and West Ham in late April saw them enter the final day with their fate in their own hands.

Standing in their way were Liverpool, with the Reds needing to win to stay in contention for a UEFA Champions League spot.

In a fast and furious game David Wetherall grabbed the winner with a towering header, to keep the Bantams up for another season.

2005: West Brom's Great Escape

The Baggies were bottom of the Premier League at Christmas and were considered dead certainties for relegation.

No-one appears to have told Bryan Robson's side though - they managed five wins in the second half of the season (having won just once in the first half), and arrived on the final day occupying the bottom spot, but with a fighting chance.

They needed to win though, and hope results elsewhere went for them.

Goals from Geoff Horsfield and Kieran Richardson gave them the required points against Portsmouth, and then The Hawthorns erupted as news of defeats for Southampton and Norwich, and a draw for Crystal Palace, filtered through.

West Brom had completed football's equivalent of 'The Great Escape'.

2007: Argentine Rescue for Hammers

West Ham had started the season with the sensational signing of Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano. But the Argentine stars found it difficult to settle at Upton Park and made little impression as the Hammers found themselves in deep trouble approaching the season's climax.

With a run-in that included games against Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton before a final day show-down at Old Trafford, Alan Curbishley's side looked doomed.

Tevez could not have chosen a better time to find his shooting boots.Five goals in 9 games from the South American saw the Hammers in with a fighting chance as they faced newly-crowned champions Manchester United on the final day.

Tevez duly provided the winning goal at Old Trafford, while Sheffield United's home defeat to Wigan meant that they, and not West Ham, made the drop.
