The Lilywhites ended their play-off hoodoo by clinching promotion at the 10th time of asking through the end-of-season knockout format, doing it in some style too.
They beat Swindon Town 4-0 on May 24, 2105, Jermaine Beckford netting a hat-trick and Paul Huntington scoring.
North End were three goals to the good by half-time as their 25,000 supporters enjoyed a late afternoon under the Wembley arch.
Here we look at the PNE players on duty that day and what they are doing now.
