It is now five years to the day that Saints claimed their first and only Premiership title.
The black, green and gold beat Saracens 24-20 in dramatic fashion at Twickenham thanks to Alex Waller's extra-time try. But where are the men who made it happen on that magical day now residing? We answer that question here...
Saints won the Premiership title on May 31, 2014
The prop didn't get to play as much as he'd have liked but he still earned a big role in the Premiership final. After leaving Saints, he opted to head to America, where he works as a rugby analyst for NBC Sports.
Played a key role in both finals in 2014 and remains a vital part of the Saints squad, though he missed most of last season due to an ACL injury that is likely to rule him out until around November.
The man who was sent off for punching Tom Youngs in the semi-final against Leicester, Ma'afu retired after a 16-year career and now works for Lawrence Dallaglio's RugbyWorks, which is 'a development programme based on the values of rugby'.
The Californian crusher was one of the most important players during the double-winning season and he eventually earned a big-money move to Toulon, but he is now back home, playing for 2018 Major League Rugby champions Seattle Seawolves.
The lofty England and Lions lock remains a towering figure at Franklin's Gardens, helping Saints to secure a top-four finish this season and a Premiership Rugby Cup crown, their first trophy since 2014.
Squared up to Saracens in the 2014 final and now plays for them, having decided to make the move to Allianz Park in 2017.
Was the captain on the day at Twickenham, having scored the vital try in the semi-final success against Leicester and he still remains a Saint to this day, having signed a new contract last season.
The No.8 was a big hit during the double-winning year, emerging after joining Saints from Rotherham Titans in 2012. He is now captain of Championship club Ealing Trailfinders.
The Samoan scrum-half was a vital cog in the Saints wheel, helping to take the club to the next level after so much disappointment. He has recently been playing for Bath but left the west country club this summer.
Man of the match in both 2014 finals, the fly-half finally left Saints last summer and has just helped London Irish to return to the Premiership at the first time of asking.
