Charlton did it in the 97-98 season.

The team finishing highest in the league (third) has succeeded in winning promotion nine times out of twenty five seasons up to 2011, with 4th managing four promotions, 5th six and 6th five.

Yep, although it wasn't the Championship then.

Also that season apparently Kevin Phillips was joint top scorer. He's been about forever hasn't he?

And Liverpool never lost when Ian Rush scored until one day they did (v Arsenal in the whatever the League Cup was called that year final).

We never lost a game where Kerry Mayo scored an own goal.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

We've never lost in a Semi final of any major competition where we reached that stage. Pretty sure that's a thing.

Hmmm.
