Remember the 1996 play off semi -- part 1

Action from the 1996 play off semi final first leg against Hereford

25 years ago on this Bank Holiday weekend, we went to Wembley for the first time when we played Plymouth in the League Two play off final.

To get there, we played Hereford home and away, and we've managed to find some video of  the 2-1 away win in the first leg.

Many of us who were there will always remember the two goals by Sean Gregan and Robbie Blake as we edged closer to Wembley.
