No matter how much he wanted to stay on and take a penalty, there was no more Barry Bannan could give out on the Wembley turf.
With 92 touches - more than anyone else in the League One Play-Off final - as he covered every blade of grass, going down with cramp twice in the second half of extra time meant that the Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore had no choice but to substitute his captain with a few minutes left.
Five minutes later, 33-year-old Bannan was up on his feet, jumping up and down in the dugout celebrating ‘the best moment’ of his life after Josh Windass’ 123rd-minute winner and hugging an emotional Dean Windass, who was sat next to the Wednesday dugout.
