The 2009-10 campaign was a landmark year for Doncaster Rovers as The Rovers finished a fantastic 12th in the Championship, their highest league finish in five decades, firmly establishing themselves in the second tier. The charge was led by the beloved local striker Billy Sharp, on loan from Sheffield United, whose 15 crucial goals anchored a campaign built on consistency and the inventive football of manager Sean O'Driscoll. It was a pivotal season that marked Sharp's vital return to form and remains a proud, defining chapter in the modern history of the club.
