It was home to a host of stars in the early 2000s such as Jay-Jay Okocha, Ivan Campo and Nicolas Anelka during Sam Allardyce’s time in charge.
The ground holds over 28,000 supporters and even staged European football back in 2007/08 - including a famous victory over Atletico Madrid in the Uefa Cup.
However, after Big Sam’s departure, the club’s form dropped dramatically and they were eventually relegated from the Premier League in May 2012.
They have failed to return to the top-flight since and even dropped all the way down to League Two after years of financial chaos caused havoc at the club.
