Queens Park Rangers' promotion to the Premiership meant that three former Plymouth Argyle staff would be amongst those celebrating end of the R's 15-year exile from the top-flight.
For Rangers' boss Neil Warnock, it was his seventh career promotion which includes the 1995-96 Division Three Play-Off he achieved during his time at Home Park when he led Argyle to a 1-0 win over Darlington as they escaped the basement at their first attempt.
Amongst his victorious squad was the Pilgrims' former Hungarian playmaker Akos Buszaky, who first arrived at Home Park on loan from Porto during the 2004-05 season. The move was made permanent at the end of the season and Akos stayed with Argyle until midway through the 2007-08 season when he moved to Loftus Road.
Also making a contribution to QPR's success was Jamie Mackie who moved to Loftus Road from Argyle in the summer of 2010. Jamie had scored nine goals in 27 appearances before a serious leg break against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup ruled him out for the season. His performances for Rangers earned him a call-up to the Scotland squad, who he qualifies for through his grandfather. He has received three caps by Craig Levein and has scored one goal.
