Gillingham will play League One football next season thanks to Simeon Jackson’s last minute winner which gave Mark Stimson’s side victory over the Shrews at Wembley. Interestingly, Gillingham had once reckoned Simeon Jackson was worthless to their club. When the Canadian arrived in England in 2004, he was given a trial at Priestfield before being told to try his luck elsewhere. Four years later and Gillingham had realised their misjudgment and paid £150,000 to bring the striker from non-League Rushden & Diamonds. Yesterday, in front of more than 50,000 fans, he earned his belated employers £1m by heading a last-minute winner that sent Gillingham back into League One at the first attempt and shattered Shrewsbury hearts.
