McAllister Hoping To Create 'Crowning Moment' In Long Career
Yeovil Town captain Jamie McAllister has said that winning the League One Play-Off Final would cap anything he has previously achieved in his professional career. The 35 year old is one of the elder statesmen in the club, having had a highly successful career mainly north of the border until Gary Johnson took him down to the West Country to sign for Bristol City.

Jamie McAllister set for playoff
A LEAFY town in south Somerset. An unfashionable football club which would prompt scoffing among many. A huge prize at stake. Yeovil Town aren’t exactly synonymous with Wembley success, but they could provide Jamie McAllister with the crowning moment of his career this weekend.
The former Hearts and Livingston defender is Yeovil’s captain as they prepare to face Brentford in Sunday’s League One play-off final at British football’s most iconic venue. Even though the population of Yeovil is around 40,000, more than 60,000 tickets have been sold as the public get behind their clubs. McAllister is mindful of the expectations but also knows the fickle nature of cup final-type football.
He scored at Hampden Park as Livingston won the 2004 Scottish League Cup in one of his career highlights. Four years later, he was left distraught all summer after losing at Wembley with Bristol City in a play-off for a place in the cash-laden Premier League. At 35, having played for Scotland and thrived at a good level in England for the last seven years, taking Yeovil into the Championship would be McAllister’s finest hour. He is consumed by the mere thought of it.

Watched the game. Yeovil dominated the first half but were on the ropes when Brentford pulled a goal back early in the second.
Would have preferred to see the Bees go up but pleased for McAllister all the same.
