| Match Summary | Pompey start the day in third place knowing they need a miracle to win the title - they must beat Cheltenham and hope Doncaster don't win at relegated Hartlepool and Plymouth also drop points at mid table Grimsby. Pompey demolish Town and then pray. Plymouth can only draw and Doncaster concede two late Devante Rodney goals at Pool. When the news comes through the crowd already on the Fratton pitch celebrate the incredulous events of the day. Pompey join Wolves, Preston, Burnley and Sheffield United in winning all four levels of the Football League. |
