Sunderland stormed to the Championship title in 2006/07 to reclaim their place in the top-flight at the first time of asking.
After their relegation in 2006, the club was taken over by Drumaville - a consortium of mainly Irish-based businessmen, headed up by former player Niall Quinn - which appointed Republic of Ireland legend and former Manchester United hero Roy Keane as manager, his first managerial post since hanging up his boots.
The club have never looked back since as Keane guided them from the bottom of the Championship to title winners in May.
The club's passionate fans hope that the Irish legend's Wearside revolution can bring back the days of the two successive seventh-place finishes in 2000 and 2001. Keane led them to a 15th place finish last season.
