This weekend's encounter between Torquay United and Southend United will be the first time that Shrimpers' manager Paul Sturrock has returned to Devon since he stood down as Plymouth Argyle boss in December 2009.
Luggy, as he was affectionately known to the Green Army, accepted a Business Support Manager's position at Home Park, as Paul Mariner took charge of first team affairs, before he left the Pilgrims towards the end of the 2009-10 campaign.
Since taking charge at Roots Hall, Paul has signed a number of former Argyle players including Peter Gilbert, Graham Coughlan, Chris Barker and his son Blair.
A number of players from Paul's Argyle squad that won the Division Three title in the 2001-02 campaign would find their way to Plainmoor later in their careers.
Many of them were in the Gulls' side when they defeated the Shrimpers to win automatic promotion in 2004.
Amongst the ex-Argyle contingnent in action on that day at Roots Hall were Craig Taylor, Brian McGlinchey and Martin Gritton.
Joe Broad and Kevin Wills were non-playing members of the Torquay playing on the day.
They would be later joined on the trail from Home Park to Plainmoor by Matt Villis, Martin 'Buster' Phillips, Ian Stonebridge (via Wycombe Wanderers), Mickey Evans, Steve Adams (via Sheffield Wednesday and Swindon Town), Lee Hodges and Blair Sturrock (via Kidderminster, Rochdale and Swindon).
If the Gulls were to record a win over the Essex side, it would be the first time that they have come out on top against a team managed by Paul in what would be a seventh attempt.
