Torquay United are celebrating having been crowned National League South champions last weekend.
The Gulls beat Eastbourne Borough 2-0 to take the title with three games left to play.
It is a far cry from the start of the season, when they appeared to be drifting into a mid-table position in what was their first campaign in the division following a shock relegation from the National League last season.
Yet their transformation was inspired in-part by a Bristol City revolution.

Former Robins midfielder Gary Owers stepped down on September 12 following a dismal year in charge, and he was replaced by ex City boss Gary Johnson.
Johnson took over with the Gulls in 14th place but inspired a turnaround that saw them rise to the top after he had taken charge of just 10 matches.
Yet it is not just Johnson - father of current Robins boss Lee - that has links to Ashton Gate.
The Gulls have taken four players on loan from the Robins - we caught up with Devon Live's Guy Henderson to find out how each of them are doing.
Striker Saikou Janneh has had the most headline-grabbing season of the Bristol City loanees, scoring 18 goals in 34 league and cup appearances to make him the club’s second highest scorer this season behind sharpshooter Jamie Reid.
Janneh’s high spot was a hat trick in a 4-1 win at home to Concord Rangers, and he has been a provider for Reid on a number of occasions.
Janneh has impressed United fans with his workrate and strength, as well as his ability to make runs off the ball to create space for other players.
In midfield, Connor Lamenheigh-Evans has shown huge maturity and a calm assurance on the ball. The Welsh international has scored four goals in 31 appearances, including a brace in a 4-1 FA Cup win over Winchester.
Lemonheigh-Evans is a formidable striker of a dead ball and clearly has all the tools to progress to higher levels of the game.
Jake Andrews has never been far from the action during the season, although he has had to fight for his place in the team during the run-in as pressure for the berth on the left side of midfield has increased.
He has scored 11 goals in 30 games including a hat-trick in a 7-2 win over Oxford City. Andrews had missed a crucial penalty in the previous game at Bath, so he showed huge character to bounce back with the hat-trick.
He is another dead ball specialist, and his free kicks and corners have supplied plenty of chances for the Gulls strikers this season. On his day, Andrews is a match winner.
Winger Opi Edwards has been unlucky to have the second half of his season blighted by injury.
The quicksilver youngster scored twice in 14 appearances, but would have played far more and scored far more if he hadn’t been sidelined for much of the winter with a troublesome thigh injury. Edwards has worked his way back to fitness and was on the bench as the Gulls clinched the National League South title with a win over Eastbourne.
Johnson was in charge of the Robins for five years, from 2005 to 2010, departing by mutual consent before joining Peterborough United.
Spells at Yeovil Town and Cheltenham Town followed before he joined the Gulls in September.
The former Robins boss praised the efforts of his players after they clinched the titles.

He told Devon Live: "To be so far behind when I took over - it looked like the play-offs was the only hope - so the boys have put in a fantastic effort.
"I took a chance on keeping a small squad, because I trusted the players and they trusted me, and I'm glad I did it.
"From Clarke Osborne, George Edwards (managing director) and all the staff - it's not just the people you see on the pitch, but it's also the people you don't see - they put in a tremendous effort, and I am so pleased to be a part of it.
"This is what I came here for when I took the job. Now we have to keep going and keep building."
