Former Newport County player and manager Michael Flynn is to be inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.
The 45-year-old had four spells with the club as a player between 1999 and 2018 – the last of which while also acting as manager.
And it was in charge of the Exiles that Flynn made his most notable impact, guiding the club to League Two safety in 2017, despite being 11 points adrift when appointed as interim manager in March.
Now often referred to as the 'great escape', County maintained their football-league status on the final day of the season with a dramatic 2-1 win over Notts County.
Flynn was appointed as permanent manager of the Exiles on a two-year deal after guiding them to their survival.
During his four years in charge Newport pulled off numerous upsets in cup competitions, beating the likes of Leeds United, Leicester City, Watford and Middlesbrough while also drawing with Tottenham Hotspur.
County also forced penalty shootouts against Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion, but lost on both occasions.
Under Flynn, Newport also reached the League Two play-off final on two occasions – in 2019 and 2021 – but were agonisingly beaten 1-0 in extra time of both games.
Flynn will be inducted during their League Two game against Chesterfield at Rodney Parade on Saturday, 24 January.
He will become the first inductee since 2019, when former County manager Justin Edinburgh was added.
