Hero Chris Senior at the Marathon Bet #NonLeagueChallenge legends game!

Scorer of Darlington's last minute, Wembley winner against Mansfield in 2011 returns to the club

Chris Senior, the striker who scored that unforgettable dramatic winner for Quakers in the 2011 FA Trophy final, has agreed to play in the Marathonbet #NonLeagueChallenge Legends game on Sunday 29th July.

Every Darlo fan will always remember the moment when the ball hit the back of the net against Mansfield that day, and now Chris has agreed to put his boots on again for the match against the MarathonBet #NonLeagueChallenge Legends — along with plenty of other Darlo legends.

“I’m really looking forward to it,” he said. “My eyes lit up when I realised who else will be on the field. It will be great to see the Darlo fans again as well. It’s also a chance for my son to see me play football in the flesh!” Some of Chris’ team mates from that great day will also be appearing — Liam Hatch, Ian Miller, Tommy Wright and Jamie Chandler.

So, here’s an excuse to replay that famous Wembley moment!
