TODAY marks 17 years since the Cherries completed their sensational survival in League Two after a 17-point deduction, which began the club's meteoric rise to the Premier League.
Digital subscribers to the Daily Echo can look back in time to Saturday, April 25, 2009 and read all of the build up to that day's crucial game against Grimsby, before reading the report and reaction in Monday's edition, after Steve Fletcher's goal won Bournemouth the points and ensured survival.
Subscribers can look back through editions of the paper from the very first in August 1900 to more recent years, and everything in between. Access the archive here.
Those who are not subscribed can make the most of an exclusive offer to sign up and follow every moment of the Cherries' final four games of the Premier League season, as they look to continue their push for European qualification.
