After a 25-year absence, Coventry City are back in England's top-flight.
In a special episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Mark Chapman is joined by Golden Boot-winning former striker Dion Dublin, club legend Steve Ogrizovic, BBC CWR's Rob Gurney, and others to reflect on the club's remarkable journey back to the top.
You can also hear from manager Frank Lampard - the man who brought the Sky Blues back to the Premier League - recall the club's rejuvenation under Mark Robins and hear fan stories from the darker years.
"It was a hugely difficult period," reflects Gurney.
"Keeping my twins, who are going to be 24 on Friday, interested when they were kids was very difficult. I was taking them to places like Barnsley and Peterborough to go and watch matches away from home. They plummeted all the way down to League Two.
"There was a game where we were losing at home against Forest Green Rovers when Michael Doyle frogmarched a fan off the pitch after he had run on to remonstrate. We lost 6-2 at home to Yeovil in that season too.
"It is absolutely incredible the journey."
