Amazing really that Burnley (1987), Brighton (1997) and Swansea (2003) all within one game of relegation out of the league given their success since then. It would have been unlucky for Burnley, 87 was the first year automatic relegation was introduced, prior to that the re-election system effectively protected "big" clubs from relegation.
