Down memory lane - 37 photos from when Portsmouth won promotion to the Premier League in 2003

On April 15 2003, the Blues clinched promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 Fratton Park win over Burnley.

Twelve days later, they defeated Rotherham, also at home, to be crowned Championship champions.

And following a final day 5-0 romp at Bradford City, Blues fans came out in their thousands on Sunday, May 11.

For that was the day an open-top bus parade was held around the city, taking the players and management from Guildhall Square to Southsea seafront.

Now you can relive those heady weeks of seemingly non-stop celebrations with this nostalgia-packed photo gallery.
