20 magical pictures from that great day when Doncaster Rovers beat Leeds United at Wembley to win League One promotion

Times are tough for Rovers right now . . . but it’s not always been that way.

In our latest Rovers retro gallery we go back to a day that no-one who was there will ever forget.

After a goalless first half, James Hayter header home a Brian Stock corner as Rovers secured a 1-0 win over Leeds United to win the 2008 League One play-off final.

Rovers had ended the season in third spot, just two points behind Nottingham Forest, and beat Southend United in the semi-finals.

Around 24,000 Rovers’ fans made the trek south to see their team do them proud later that day.

Tell us your memories of that day via our social media channels.
