Bournemouth's current Premier League status truly is an ongoing footballing fairytale. Now in their second season in the top flight, they don't look like dropping out from the division anytime soon and showed on the weekend that they really do pack a punch as they downed title-chasing Liverpool 4-3.
Eddie Howe's journey through the Football League with the Cherries will be spoken about for decades, with his six-and-a-bit-season quest from League Two all the way to a stunning Championship win in 2015 a fairytale.
The youngest manager in the Football League when he was appointed, Howe actually completed the journey in two spells at the club. After taking them up from League Two to League One he left for a stint at Burnley during which time the club consolidated their League One status.
It was only on his return that he truly pushed on the club to a new level, taking them up to the Championship, and finishing 10th in their first season there then sensationally being promoted the year after.
Which other clubs have achieved similar feats and how did they do it? Here are FIVE other teams who had an incredible rise through the Football League...
Swansea
Incredibly, Swansea have actually made the journey from League Two or its equivalent to the top of English football twice in their history. In 1977/78 they began a journey from the Fourth Division to the First Division before being relegated as fast as they were promoted.
In recent and more familiar times they did a similar thing. Promoted from League Two in 2005, they followed that up with League One promotion in 2008.
After a few years of battling hard in the Championship, Brendan Rodgers finished the job for the Swans in 2011 after a mighty play-off win against Reading.
The difference between now and the '80s is that they've remained in the top flight ever since and like Bournemouth don't look like leaving anytime soon.
Hull City
Hull City's five-year rise from League Two to the Premier League was the third quickest in history. Their promotion in 2008 was the first time in their long history that they'd made it into the top flight.
With back-to-back promotions in League Two and League One in 2003/04 and 2004/05, it was the Championship that proved trickiest to navigate.
Hull turned to Phil Brown who guided them to the play-offs in 2008 and Dean Windass' memorable strike in the final is one of the most famous in English football over the last 20 years - an unstoppable volley that was worthy of winning any game in the world.
It sparked jubilant scenes at Wembley and across Hull.
Since then they've suffered relegation but have bounced back once again, winning the 2016 Championship play-offs.
Blackpool
Blackpool's journey to the Premier League was done the hard way by having to rely on the lottery of the play-offs to achieve the promotions necessary.
In 2010 Simon Grayson's side saw off Yeovil Town in the League One play-offs to rise to the Championship where they spent three seasons.
It was Ian Holloway who was to be the guiding light for promotion glory though, with his 2009/10 side scraping into the play-offs by the skin of their teeth before seeing off the much-fancied Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City to win promotion.
The first half of the play-off final will live long in the memory for anyone who watched on as a neutral, as it was a five-goal five goal thriller which Blackpool just edged going into the break. They held on in the second half to achieve Premier League status for the very first time and complete another football league fairytale.
Sadly the trend has been reversed since and the side are currently down in League Two, with the big stage looking as far off as ever.
Wimbledon
Requiring just four seasons to rise from Division Four to Division One in the '80s, Dave Bassett's 'Crazy Gang' achieved one of the most notorious rises in league football in record time.
Sensational back-to-back promotions in 1983 and 1984 set the tone before an incredible 1986 promotion from the then Division Two saw them reach the top flight for the first time in their history.
Incredibly, not only had they jumped three divisions in four years, the promotion to the top flight occurred only nine seasons after they entered the Football League for the first time. It remains potentially the greatest rise in English football history.
The team would go on to further glory, winning the FA Cup in 1988.
Leicester City
The difference between Leicester's rise from League One football in 2009 to Premier League status in 2014 is that they've gone on to do the impossible and actually become English champions.
A shock relegation from the Championship in 2008 saw them bounce straight back up from League One the year after. Years of mediocrity in the Championship followed before Nigel Pearson's men had a sensational 2013/14 season to win the league and gain promotion to the top flight.
It's when Claudio Ranieri took over that they truly made history, though. In the most incredible of Premier League seasons, the Foxes blew apart much more illustrious opposition to win the greatest honour in English football in May 2016.
