A year ago today Rovers celebrated promotion back to the Championship with victory at Doncaster Rovers.
Charlie Mulgrewβs header sparked celebratory scenes in the away win, which then spilled on to the pitch at the final whistle as Rovers return to the Championship at the first attempt was secured with two games to go.
Fans have been sharing their memories of that evening on social media, and here are a collection of them.
The best footballing night of my life. The best season of my life.Spent with my fave people & topped off by not only meeting but getting THE biggest cuddle from the boy @conway_cc When itβs been a struggle this season I remember nights like this π #rovers #blueeyes #OnThisDay pic.twitter.com/JIBfVow2ti

1 year since the the best day Iβve had supporting rovers. What a day and what a moment for the people who had stuck by us through all the issues on and off the field for the last 7 years. Never ever forget this day. #Rovers pic.twitter.com/awJ8LmOLGW

One year ago today, a @charlie_mulgrew header 10 minutes from time sealed a dramatic return to the @SkyBetChamp at the first time of asking for #Rovers at @drfc_official.
What a night! π

One year on and Iβll never forget inviting my Sheffield United supporting mate to Doncaster away only to see him get mowed down by an army of fans and tumble down five rows of seats as Mulgrews header hit the back of the net. Heβs still not forgiven me. #Rovers

This time last year we were promoted back to the championship after been relegated to the lowest league in my lifetime. We are almost on the verge of finishing top half of the championship which I would call a successful season. Hopefully this success continues. #Rovers pic.twitter.com/CbZSunlLBZ

One year since we were promoted from League one. Now weβre 14th in the championship, 59 points closer to the play offs than relegation places. 2 games left to go. I would say this has also been a good season. #Rovers
