ALL this week Adver Sport will be bringing you Town play-off final memories straight from the players' mouths.

First up is Scottish midfielder Simon Ferry looking back at the disappointing 2010 defeat to Millwall:

IT WAS my first year of being at Swindon and I’d done really well.

We were fancied to go down at the start of the season, but on the last day of the season we still had a chance of getting automatic promotion. We got beaten by Millwall, but then beat Charlton in the semi-final. That night at the Valley was brilliant.

A year before I went to Swindon I didn’t think I would play again because of my ankle. I wanted to get a loan move and nobody would touch me, but Danny Wilson took a chance on me - I played nearly every game that season.

To finish it at Wembley was brilliant and I have a lot to thank Danny for.

The whole week of build-up is brilliant. Everyone was buzzing in training, everyone was in the papers and on TV. You feel like a proper player, everything gets made into such a big deal.

We travelled up a couple of days before Wembley and trained nearby, then going to see it the day before was a really great experience. Not a lot of players get to experience Wembley in their career.

The final was a boring game really, nothing in it. The game was dead for the whole thing, there wasn’t a lot of chances. In the end they got a corner and scored from it and Charlie had his chance, other than that I don’t really remember any other chances.

It was a great experience. When you know you’re going to be in the play-offs you’re desperate to go to Wembley. Everyone wants to play there and to do it in my first year as a first-team player was brilliant.

For it to be my first year of football I’d never experienced a big game. There were 70,000 people there that day and walking out with the flames going off I was thinking ‘WTF’. I was playing reserve football at Airdrie in front of 10 people a year before, Swindon sold out their end and the atmosphere was amazing.

We had quite a young team. Myself, Danny Ward and Stephen Darby were on loan and quite young. We’d never experienced anything like that and it probably did lead to why we never did play so well.

Charlie in his first season of football, he probably felt it as well. It isn’t easy to go and play in a game like that.

To play more than 50 games and lose it on the last game was devastating. That’s what the play-offs are there for, somebody’s got to lose.
