For me it was more daunting at the time than either of the premier league promotions.

That said, if you'd asked me if we'd spend any time in the premier league over the next 17 years I'd have probably said yes also.
I remember the 4-1 win over Derby and thinking we just might hold our own in this league. The football was excellent too - pretty open and neat end to end stuff.
