Fifty-four years ago and Yeovil Town were the talk of the football world when they beat the mighty Sunderland at the old sloping pitch of Huish in the FA Cup Fourth Round.
It was and still is one of the greatest giant-killing acts ever created in the cup competition and it made the name of the Glovers famous throughout the land.
Few of the players who donned the green and white of Yeovil during the renowned 1948-49 cup fighting team are still alive today, but one of the survivors, Ralph Davis, is still a devoted follower of the Glovers.
And Ralph was at Huish Park on Saturday to see Yeovil presented with the Nationwide Conference championship trophy and there was no doubting the pride he had.
The 1948-49 team are still held in high esteem by supporters with the likes of Alec Stock, Dickie Dyke, Eric Bryant and Bobby Hamilton given legendary status. But the stars of 2002-03 and manager Gary Johnson are virtually assured of similar standing in the years ahead after taking the club to the Football League.
