From the archive: Rotherham 2 Town 1 Auto Windscreens Trophy Final
It's 20 years to the day Shrewsbury lost to Rotherham United in the Auto Windscreens Trophy at Wembley.
Nigel Jemson was the thorn in Salop's side that day, scoring both goals before Mark Taylor's late consolation
The breakthrough, which arrived on 19 minutes when Bermudian forward Shaun Goater bamboozled John Kay on the left of the box, before finding unmarked strike partner Jemson 12 yards out – and he needed no second invitation to finish clinically.
The goal cajoled a response from Salop, with captain and play-maker Mark Taylor almost setting up experienced striker Ian Stevens for a leveller.
Jemson then spurned a presentable chance to make it two, when his shot from Goater's knock-down was a couple of inches wide, but he fared better shortly before the hour mark in the game's pivotal moment.
A weak header from former Sheffield United junior Dave Walton sold goalkeeper Paul Edwards short, with a foot-race ensuing between the Town custodian and Jemson.
The loanee got lucky, managing to stick out a toe and connecting with the ball and a fortunate ricochet allowed him to walk the ball into the net.
That looked to be that, but the Millers' celebrations were temporarily halted by the Shrews grasping a lifeline 10 minutes from time, courtesy of captain Taylor.
