Gillingham launch 2024/25 commemorative away kit to mark 25th anniversary of Division 1 play-off triumph over Wigan Athletic at Wembley
Gillingham have launched a commemorative away kit as the 25th anniversary of a famous Wembley win approaches.
The Gills have recreated the yellow strip worn by Peter Taylor’s side in their 3-2 Division 2 play-off final win over Wigan on May 28 2000.
Steve Butler and Andy Thomson scored in the closing minutes of extra-time as Taylor’s side came from 2-1 down to win 3-2 and reach Division 1 - now the Championship - for the first time.
Taylor and Thomson are among those to feature in a club promo which shows stars of the day unboxing the shirt and sharing memories of the club’s Wembley triumph.
“Lovely memories for me because that was the shirt that we played in for one of the best games I’ve ever managed in,” said Taylor.
