In the week that saw the marking of the date that Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled back to in Back to the Future 2, Plymouth Argyle's present is looking familiar to the time in which the duo started their journey from.
On October 21st 1985, the Pilgrims were managed by a Scotsman in the form of Dave Smith just like they were on the same date in 2015 in the form of current manager Derek Adams.
Like Smith, Adams has embraced the city of Plymouth and built a bond with its loyal fanbase since his appointment in the summer.
In the film, there were a number of differences between the way of the life in the Western world between 1985 and 2015, and there has certainly been several big changes to the approach of a Plymouth Argyle manager in the intervening three decades.
Whilst hoverbonds and flying cars are not in the mind of the current Argyle boss, different ideas on a range of things from tactics, sports science and diet and nutrition certainly are.
One factor that links the two Scots is the prospect of a promotion, which Smith led the Pilgrims to at the end of the 1985-86 from the 'old' Division Three. Their promotion challenge was spearheaded by the return of Tommy Tynan on loan from Rotherham United, and - in 2015 - Adams also has Argyle's most prolific scorer since Tynan, Reuben Reid, currently at his disposal.
In Back to the Future 2, it was predicted that the Chicago Cubs would finally win Baseball's World Series, but there is no such predictions were made on the future of English football; let alone Plymouth Argyle.
It would be fitting if the Pilgrims were able to mark their own 30th anniversary with another promotion triumph with a side that fans could compare to their 1985-86 side.
