The 2007-08 campaign delivered a glorious, long-awaited promotion for Doncaster Rovers, as The Reds finished a strong 3rd in League One under manager Sean O'Driscoll. The regular season saw a collective goalscoring effort with James Hayter, Paul Heffernan, and Jason Price each netting seven league goals, but it was the dramatic play-offs that defined the year. After a spectacular 5-1 aggregate victory over Southend United, Rovers secured a historic 1-0 triumph against rivals Leeds United in the Wembley Final, with James Hayter's crucial header sealing their return to the second tier of English football for the first time in half a century.
