In being named in the PFA League Two team of the season, Bobby Olejnik, Kevin Nicholson, Lee Mansell and Eunan O'Kane have joined a select list of former Torquay favourites to receive the honour.
The first Gulls' nominee came back in the 1975-76 season when left back Phil Sandercock became the first Torquay United to be selected.
Four years later, goalkeeper John Turner became the second Gulls' player to make the end of season team, although he had departed for Chesterfield in February 1980.
It would be a long wait before the next Torquay United representative would be included in the divisional XI, eighteen years to be precise, when Rodney Jack was chosen in the 1997-98 side.
Unfortunately for Jack, he was denied a double celebration as Torquay were defeated in the Division Three Play-Off final that season by Colchester United.
Also featuring in that side was current Gulls' boss Martin Ling who was then plying his trade with Leyton Orient.
Five years later, Alex Russell was chosen for his sterling displays in midfield as Torquay narrowly missed out on the Play-Offs in Leroy Rosenior's first season in charge.
Russell was selected again in the following campaign, becoming the only Gulls player to be chosen twice, alongwith David Graham as Torquay clinched automatic promotion for the first time in 38 years.
Last season, central defender Guy Branston was nominated as the Gulls once again found themselves in contention for promotion as they were narrowly beaten by Stevenage in the League Two Play-Off at Old Trafford.
