Gallery | The Great Escape 2016-17

On May 6, 2017, County fans witnessed the finale of one of the most remarkable Great Escapes in Football League History.

7,500 County fans packed out Rodney Parade in hope of securing League Two football for another season.

When Michael Flynn was appointed as Exiles boss in March 2017, the club required seven wins from a possible 12 which, when you consider the side had only registered five in the previous 34, was incredibly unlikely.  

Re-visit some of the best photos from the day here, including that dramatic late winner from Mark O'Brien.
