In having four players selected in the League Two team of the year, Torquay United find themselves in the same company as Manchester City and Charlton Athletic who also had four players included in their divisional representative sides.
Manchester City, currently the richest club in the world, had four players selected in the Premier League Team of the Year, whilst Charlton Athletic, who have amassed more points than anyone else in the top four divisions, saw four of the players included in the League One Team of the Year.
Gulls boss Martin Ling was quick to praise Bobby Olejnik, Kevin Nicholson, Lee Mansell and Eunan O'Kane for their selection.
However, he was also keen to remind his charges that there is still work to be done between now and the end of the season.
"It is a phenomenal achievement for the club, especially for the four players involved, but also the other 19 in the squad," said Ling.
"It is a brilliant representation of us as a football club. I was sat there with Shaun Taylor, Kenny Veysey and Damian Davey at the ceremony last night, and we were four very proud men.
"The fact Manchester City had four and they are sitting second in the Premier League, Charlton had four and they are already promoted from League 1, sums up what other clubs think of us.
"I was voted in the Team of the Year back in 1999 and Shaun Taylor has been in it two or three times, and we both agree it is a medal sitting proudly at home because it is voted by players that you play against.
"I've said many times that I see Bobby as the number one 'keeper in the bottom two leagues. Kevin Nicholson has been a solid defender, who gives us plenty going forward. Eunan, as I've also said before, is key to us passing the ball well and Manse is the heartbeat to our team.
"They all thoroughly deserve this award but there is work to do over the last two games. Our right-back, Joe Oastler, was quoted in the Sun newspaper as saying we've achieved nothing if we don't get promoted, and I would totally go along with that.
"We've had success this season if we come in the top seven but promotion is the only way we can be successful."
