But their celebrations were short-lived after the club finished rock bottom in the debut season and immediately returned to the second tier.

After only six wins and 28 points in the 2015/16 season, they suffered yet another relegation and fell to the 3. Liga.

Paderborn have a strong and loyal following in Germany
The 2016/17 season brought more misery and the club finished in the relegation zone, but instead of dropping down to the Regonalliga, Paderborn experienced a dramatic twist of fate.
They avoided relegation because 1860 Munchen failed to secure a license to play in the third tier.
It proved a turning point for the club, who have gone on to achieve back-to-back promotions to write one of German football’s true fairytales.
That said, I’m sure they’d settle for a nice, boring mid-table finish next season.
