Millwall 1 - 0 Swindon Town: Lions roar back to League One

CAPTAIN Paul Robinson grabbed the only goal of the game to ensure Millwall finally enjoyed play-off success at the sixth time of asking in their Coca-Cola League One final against Swindon at Wembley.

The centre-back smashed home from close range after Danny Schofield's corner found its way through.

His 39th-minute goal was nothing less than the Lions deserved, having posed the bigger threat throughout against a Town side who saw Charlie Austin slice wide a golden opportunity to level matters when clean through in the second half.

Victory in front of 73,108 fans went some way to banishing the memory of five previous play-off defeats for Millwall, who were left celebrating a return to England's second tier following their relegation in 2006.

Lions boss Kenny Jackett stressed that "there is something in football, and life, in persistence" and his class of 2010 have proved just that.

And although it was despair for Swindon at the final whistle, their 12-month transformation from relegation contenders to promotion nearly-men under manager Danny Wilson deserves plenty of credit.
