Chris Coyne: Back in the side after missing the 1-1 draw at Huddersfield the previous weekend, as he went on to make 40 appearances at the heart of Town's defence that season.

Sol Davis: Virtual ever-present, missing just one match throughout the campaign, Town's 3-0 home win over Stockport in January. Yellow carded.

Alan Neilson: Rare start for Neilson, only his second in the league for Town that season. Went on to play the next four in a row, but didn't feature again, leaving Kenilworth Road in the summer.

Kevin Nicholls: Crucial part of Town's midfield that season, scoring 12 times in 44 games. Played the pass out wide to Robinson in the build-up for Brkovic's winner.

Steve Robinson: Delivered an excellent cross from the right after being picked out by Nicholls as Brkovic did the rest, powering home his header to win it at the death.
