The 2004-05 campaign delivered a miraculous "Great Escape" for West Bromwich Albion as the Baggies became the first club in Premier League history to avoid relegation after being bottom at Christmas. Leading the charge was the prolific Robert Earnshaw, whose 11 league goals proved vital in a season built on grit and an unforgettable final-day victory over Portsmouth. Under the inspired management of Bryan Robson and featuring the immediate impact of signings like Kevin Campbell and Kieran Richardson, it was a historic year that saw the Hawthorns witness the impossible and remains the most iconic survival story in the club’s modern history.
