In a special edition of our Shaymen Memories series, we go back 11 years to when FC Halifax Town sealed promotion into the fifth tier with a 1-0 win at Brackley in the Conference North play-off final.

The win came courtesy of Lee Gregory’s goal and was manager Neil Aspin’s third promotion in four years at The Shay.
