Bournemouth have undergone two name changes before settling on their current title, having been formed as Boscombe FC way back in 1890.

That was altered to Bournemouth and Boscombe FC for their entry to the Football League in the Third Division South in 1923, before they became AFC Bournemouth in 1972 when the flamboyant John Bond was manager.

It was Bond who clinched the club's first promotion in 1971, following the Cherries' relegation to Division Four the previous season, their hero being "Supermac" Ted MacDougall, who fired in 49 goals.

The subsequent departures of MacDougall to Manchester United and then Bond to Norwich saw Bournemouth fall apart, the crowds dwindle and relegation in 1975 left the club struggling.

Alex Stock and then David Webb steadied the Bournemouth ship, earning promotion to Division Two again in 1985, and a golden age dawned with the arrival of Harry Redknapp in the top job, after spells as assistant to Webb and Don Megson.

Redknapp guided the Cherries to safety in the 1983-84 season and masterminded a massive shock when they knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup after a replay in the third round.

Bournemouth set a club points record, racking up 97 on their way to the Division Three title in 1986-87.

The Cherries stayed in Division Two for three years, finishing 12th in 1988-89 - their highest finish in the League and the season in which Harry gave his son, Jamie, who went on to play for Liverpool and England, his debut at just 16.

Relegation followed the following year, however, and Bournemouth stayed in the third tier for all but one of the next 19 years, before a 10-point deduction for going into administration in 2008 sent them into League Two, despite a stunning late run that saw them relegated on the last day of the season.
