The club only returned to the Football League in 2006, with Oxford United dropping to the Conference, 44 years after the same club had replaced them in the fourth tier after Accrington were made to give up their league membership.

But the club have been transformed under the stewardship of manager John Coleman since he took over in 2014 and Tuesday's win sparked joyous scenes from fans and players alike at the final whistle.
