The 2007-08 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the Football League for Exeter City, with The Grecians finishing 4th in the Conference Premier and winning the promotion play-offs. Leading the charge was the prolific cult hero Richard Logan, whose 19 goals proved vital in a season defined by unforgettable drama. This included a thrilling semi-final comeback against local rivals Torquay United, which they won 5-3 on aggregate, and culminated in a decisive 1-0 victory over Cambridge United at Wembley, securing their place back in the professional ranks after a five-year absence.
