The 2014-15 campaign was a season of ultimate heartbreak and managerial chaos for Notts County as The Magpies finished a devastating 21st in League One, resulting in their relegation to the fourth tier and the painful loss of their status as the world's oldest Football League club. The year was defined by a turbulent period that saw two managers sacked, Shaun Derry and caretaker Paul Hart, before Ricardo Moniz took the helm for the desperate run-in. Despite the turmoil, the one constant attacking spark was veteran winger Garry Thompson, whose 12 crucial league goals anchored the side in a desperate, last-gasp fight for survival that ended with a crushing final-day defeat to Gillingham.
