ON THIS DAY: Cherries promoted in Cardiff

On this day 15 years ago, AFC Bournemouth secured a priceless victory in the Division Three play-off final in Cardiff.

A 5-2 win secured a return to Division Two, and goals from Steve Fletcher, Stephen Purches, Garreth O'Connor and a brace from skipper Carl Fletcher swept aside the Imps and earned a deserved end to the season for the Cherries.

From Fletcher revealing his abs after scoring to the mobbing of Purches after the third goal, we have all the best photos from one of the most memorable days in the club's history.

Scroll through our gallery above from the Millenium Stadium in 2003 where the team became the first ever to score five goals in a play-off final.
