The 2013/2014 season, saw Yeovil Town make club history when they reached the second tier of English football for the first time in the clubs history.
In what turned out to be a tough season for the club, they finished bottom of the table and were relegated. However, Yeovil only finished seven points off safety, which in itself was a major shock compared to where journalists and pundits originally predicted.
In 46 league games, Yeovil managed eight league wins. This included big wins against Watford, Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest. The majority defeats were close games except for the odd heavy defeats against Huddersfield Town, Middlesbrough and Barnsley.
Their final match of their season saw the club host Middlesbrough at Huish Park, but what has happened to the starting eleven from that game, since the 4-1 defeat, and where are they now?

Starting Eleven
Goalkeeper: Marek Stech
The one-time Czech Republic international goalkeeper joined the club from West Ham United in 2012. In his debut campaign in League One, he kept 19 clean sheets in 56 appearances, including a man of the match performance in the play-off final but injuries limited his second season with the club.
After turning down a new contract, Stech returned to his native country, signing for Sparta Prague, where he spent three seasons as a back-up goalkeeper.
In 2017, he returned to England, signing a two-year deal with then League Two side Luton Town, where he helped them the club gain back-to-back promotions to the second tier.
He then left the club in 2020 to join Mansfield Town but was released in the summer and is currently a free agent.
Right-Back: Luke Ayling
Ayling began his career with Arsenal, before making a 2010 loan move to Yeovil, which was made permanent following the conclusion of the season.
The 31-year-old spent four years at Huish Park, making over 160 appearances for the club, and became a firm fans favourite in the process.
However, following relegation, Ayling turned down a new deal and subsequently joined Bristol City on a free transfer. He scored four goals in 88 games before joining Leeds United for a fee of £200,000.
He's become a fans favourite at Elland Road, making over 200 appearances for the club, and has played a crucial role in the Premier League return. He remains at the club today and has recently returned from a long-term injury.
Centre-Back: Byron Webster
Experienced centre-back Byron Webster spent two seasons at Huish Park, helping them achieve promotion, before playing an important role in trying to keep the club up. He made 98 appearances, scoring nine goals for the club.
Following relegation, he also turned down a new contract and signed for Championship side Millwall for free. He spent five years at The Den, making over 100 appearances, including a brief loan return to Yeovil in 2015.
In January 2019, Webster joined Scunthorpe United on a free transfer, making nine appearances before linking up with Carlisle United until 2020.
He now plays for National League side Bromley, playing a crucial role as the club look to achieve promotion to the football league.
Centre-Back: Shane Duffy
The second centre-back is Irish international Shane Duffy, who was playing the final game, of a season-long-loan move from Premier League side Everton.
Following his loan spell, he left Goodison Park and joined Championship side Blackburn Rovers for an initial fee of £400,000. He made 63 appearances for the club before being sold for a then, club-record fee to Brighton Hove Albion in 2016.
He has made over 150 appearances for the club, helping them achieve promotion and stability in the Premier League. He has also made 55 caps for the Republic Of Ireland and had a brief loan spell at Celtic.
In the summer, Duffy joined fellow Premier League side Fulham on a season-long-loan but has been limited to just three appearances so far this season.
Left-Back: Jamie McAllister (Captain)
Captain of the club during the 2013/14 season, was full-back Jamie McAllister, who joined the club in 2012 from Bristol City on a free transfer and made over 70 appearances.
After relegation, McAllister was released by the club and made a surprise career move to Indian Super League side Kerala Blasters as a player/coach for the club.
However, just six months later, he returned to England and joined then League Two side Exeter City on a free transfer. He made over 40 appearances before retiring at the end of the 2015/16 season.
Since his retirement, he has had coaching roles at Bristol City and Sunderland but is currently the assistant manager at Scottish Premiership side Hibernian.
Right Midfield: Kevin Dawson
Winger Kevin Dawson arrived at the club in January 2013, after leaving Irish side Shelbourne FC, and originally signed a six month contract, which was later extended.
Unlike the previous entries, Dawson remained with the club, despite relegation to League One. He went on to make over 120 appearances for the club and left as a favourite amongst the clubs fanbase.
He joined Cheltenham Town in 2017, on a free transfer, scoring nine goals in 66 appearances before making a shock move to the clubs rivals Forest Green Rovers two years later.
Dawson spent a season with the club before being released, and currently plays for National League North side Gloucester City.
Central Midfield: Joe Edwards
Popular midfielder Joe Edwards had a double loan spell at Yeovil Town in 2012, from Bristol City. This deal was made permanent in January 2013 for roughly £75,000.
In his two-year spell, he made roughly 100 appearances, scoring twice and remained with the club, despite relegation back to League One in 2014.
One-year later, Edwards joined Colchester United for the 2015/16 season, making 42 appearances before he was released following their relegation to League Two. He linked up with Walsall upon his release, and spent three years, becoming the clubs standout player.
In 2019, Edwards joined Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer and has become one of the more popular figures at the club. He has made over 130 appearances as the club push for promotion to the Championship this season.
Central Midfield: Joe Ralls
English midfielder Joe Ralls' 2013/14 spell on loan at Yeovil Town is the only time in the players career that he has left Cardiff City.
During his loan spell at Huish Park, Ralls made 37 league appearances, becoming one of the clubs best players. He also scored four goals in the process.
Upon his return to the club, Ralls was given a three-year contract with the Welsh side, before signing a further five-year deal in 2015. He celebrated his 100th appearance with a sublime strike against Wolves in a 3-1 victory.
In June, Ralls signed a new two-year contract at the Cardiff City Stadium and has made over 300 appearances for the club.
Left Midfield: Sam Foley
Winger Sam Foley joined the club in 2012, originally on a one-year deal but after scoring seven goals in 51 games, he was rewarded with a fresh two-year contract.
He was limited to just nine appearances in the 2013/14 season, and had a brief loan spell with Shrewsbury Town. The following season, Foley made 45 appearances as Yeovil suffered back-to-back relegations.
He left that summer and joined Port Vale for two years, before joining four different clubs in a two year spell. These clubs were Northampton Town, St. Mirren, Motherwell and Tranmere Rovers.
He is currently 36-years-old and plays for League Two side Barrow AFC, where he's made 17 appearances.
Striker: James Hayter
The goal-scorer on the clubs final match in the Championship was a very popular figure, in striker James Hayter.
The experienced forward joined the club in 2012 from Doncaster Rovers and made over 100 appearances for Yeovil. After scoring 25 goals for the club, he was released in May 2015 after the club suffered a second consecutive relegation.
Upon his release, Hayter signed for Havant & Waterlooville, where he played almost 100 times in three years, including a loan stint at Weymouth before retiring in 2018.
Following his retirement, Hayter now works at Premier League side AFC Bournemouth as the clubs U18s manager.
Striker: Sam Hoskins
Completing the starting eleven, was fellow striker Sam Hoskins, who was just 21-years-old at the time of the match.
He joined the club in the Summer of 2013, signing from Southampton on a free transfer. He made 31 appearances for the club, scoring just once in a tough time for the youngster. He was released in 2015 following the clubs relegation to League Two.
He did have a 2014 loan stint at Barnet FC, before being recalled ahead of the second-half of the League One season.
Upon his release, Hoskins joined Northampton Town, and has since been moved from a striker to a winger and has currently scored 57 goals in 269 appearances, and is League Two's top scorer so far this season, with 13 goals in 14 games.
