A disappointing season for Crewe resulted in relegation after five seasons in the second tier of English football. Despite relegation, there was a momentous occasion where Crewe boss Gradi celebrated his 1,000th game in charge of Crewe on 20 November 2001 – an away fixture at Carrow Road, the home of Norwich City.
