PLAYER manager Andy Preece finally threw himself into the fray for the final frantic moments but admitted it was tempting to come off the bench much sooner to share in Shakers' glory night.
"With about 15 minutes to go, I saw that Pawel Abbott was getting tired so I started warming up ready to replace him," he said.
"Then I think he must have seen me because he suddenly found a second wind and played some great football. Everything seemed to be going through him, so I had to let him stay on a bit longer.
"That was tough for me because I was itching to get on the pitch. It's a great stadium to play in and I wanted to be part of the game."
