Overview

The Greatest Escape in the History of Huddersfield Town F.C.(synopsis) The Great Escape of the 1997-8 season for Huddersfield Town has been well documented. Without the enormous efforts from Peter Jackson and Terry Yorath the team would have faced certain relegation. However, now I am proud, pleased and relieved to be in a position to give an account of the Greatest Escape in the history of the club; a monumental milestone in the history of the Terriers. The Great Escape was made possible by efforts on the field, whereas in the Greatest Escape it was the massive contributions of the ones off it that made the vital difference to survival. Find out how close the club was to closure as thousands contributed to saving the Terriers not from relegation but from folding as a club forever; from being robbed of the joy, excitement and intensity that every match day brings.
