When Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis to win the 1985 World Snooker Championship final the only point he was in front in the match was when he clinched the final frame of the best of 35 frame contest.
Fast forward to the present day and Portsmouth secured the 2016-17 League Two title in a similar manner as they defeated Cheltenham Town 6-1 on the final day of the campaign at the expense of Derek Adams' Plymouth Argyle and Darren Ferguson's Doncaster Rovers, who drew with Grimsby Town and lost to Hartlepool United respectively.
Whilst Pompey were able to finish top of the league in such a manner shouldn't diminish their achievement, nor should that be the case with what the Pilgrims have achieved under Adams this season.
In building a side which only contained four players from their previous campaign in which they lost in the Play-off final to AFC Wimbledon: skipper Luke McCormick, vice captain Gary Sawyer, Graham Carey and Jake Jervis, Adams has worked wonders to build a side that has led Argyle to their first promotion since the 2003-04 season.
Their success brings to an end one of the darkest chapters in the club's history, which started in 2011 when they entered Administration, which - in turn - condemned them to relegation to English football's fourth tier for the third time at the end of the 2010-11 season.
During the course of the campaign, the then Argyle manager Peter Reid paid the club's heating bill out of his own pocket and even auctioned off one of his FA Cup runners-up medals, which he won with Everton in 1986, to try and help the club.
Salvation eventually arrived in October 2011 when local businessman James Brent became the club's new owner.
The following two seasons saw the Pilgrims flirt with relegation from the Football League under the managerial reigns of Carl Fletcher and John Sheridan, and it was under Sheridan that Argyle finally started to move forward again.
In the 2013-14 season, the Pilgrims finished in the top half of any league since the 2007-08 season when they finished tenth in League Two. The following season saw them build on this as they made the end of season Play-offs for the first time since the 1995-96 campaign, when they beat Darlington 1-0 in the final under Neil Warnock.
However, there was to be no Wembley appearance this time as they were beaten by Wycombe Wanderers over two legs in the semis, which proved to be Sheridan's final games in charge.
A second Wembley visit did happen in the following season under Sheridan's successor Derek Adams, but the Pilgrims were beaten 2-0 by AFC Wimbledon.
Nevertheless there was to be no Wembley hangover for Argyle in the 2016-17 season, in a campaign which also saw them take Premier League giants to a replay in the FA Cup third round, as they clinched the ninth promotion in the club's history and will be experiencing League One football for the first time since 2011 in the 2017-18 campaign.
