“I didn’t know where I was meant to be walking or what I was doing.
“[Captain] Jack Senior kind of had me on remote control, he was saying ‘no gaffer, this way, that way!’

Millington is one of the game’s cool customers, but the 53-year-old admitted that even he got nervous as the seconds ticked with his Halifax side clinging onto the lead given to them by Jamie Cooke’s 43trd-minute goal.

“Usually I get to 85, 90 minutes and then start becoming aware of the time, but I was watching the clock a lot more closely from 75 and willing it to go down.
“That caused a different level of anxiety in me, I could feel the nerves for the last 15 minutes, and then the added minutes, which were particularly long.
