Significant Days
1928
Relief: A last game 3-0 win at Middlesbrough keeps the lads up and relegates Boro. Any 2 of 5 could have gone down, and bottom nine finished only 2 points apart.
1973
FA Cup Winners for the second time: a 1-0 win over Leeds United at Wembley in third final appearance.
1979
Agony: A 2-1 last game comeback win at Wrexham seems to secure a promotion slot, only for Stoke's stoppage time winner at Notts. County to put it in doubt, and Palace's win days later to take it away.
