    After 109 years, Barnsley gained entry to English football's elite division for the first time in 1997 with a 2-0 win over Bradford in the penultimate game of the season.

    "It's just like watching Brazil" sang the Tykes fans to Danny Wilson's side, who aspired to an attacking, stylish way of playing. Unfortunately for them, their top-flight opponents were ruthless and Barnsley were immediately relegated after finishing 19th in the Premiership, five points adrift of safety. They did knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup, though.

    Most relatively small budgeted clubs are grateful for one shot at the big time in this big-money modern football era. Burnley have had two - the second of which they are currently fighting to preserve. As recently as 1987 - during a seven-year spell in the lowest tier of the Football League - they narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference.

    In 2009-10 they were back in the top-flight, albeit only for one season under the management of Owen Coyle (who left for Bolton in January and was succeeded by Brian Laws). Despite losing many of the stars who got them promoted the first time, Sean Dyche rebuilt and got them back up in 2014. They have their work cut out if they are to avoid an immediate return to the Championship again as they are currently bottom of the table and five points adrift of safety.

    Blackburn were far from top-flight novices prior to their promotion in 1992 but, from 1966, the mill town experienced a 26-year exile from the elite.

    A defeat in the 1989-90 Second Division play-off semi-finals was followed by the takeover of local steelworks owner and lifelong supporter Jack Walker, who, along with manager Kenny Dalglish, oversaw Rovers' transformation into Premier League champions in 1995, three seasons into their top-flight tenure. Fourth, second and top in their first three seasons. Good luck beating that Bournemouth!

    Blackpool players celebrate winning the 2010 Championship play-off finalImage source, Getty Images

    Blackpool won the 2010 play-off final over Cardiff to clinch a top-flight place for the first time since 1971. Achieved on the lowest wage bill in the Championship, it was witnessed by one of the smallest average attendances in the division and masterminded at a dilapidated training ground still in use since the days of the legendary Stanley Matthews.

    Ian Holloway's attacking side so nearly continued the dream by staying up but were relegated on the final day. And they were close to returning the following season. The less said about what has happened since, the better.

    Redknapp, manager at Dean Court for nine years from 1983 (famously guiding them to an FA Cup third round win over then holders Man United), is full of praise for the achievement of Edie Howe and his players.

    "They look a great bunch of lads, they are a credit to the football club, and I think they have done amazingly well," he said.

    "They will be a pleasure to watch next year, they will attack, have a go at everybody. They will play with two wingers. The football they play is breathtaking and they are a pleasure to watch.

    "It is an amazing story and everybody involved with that club deserves enormous credit."
