Barnsley keeper Nicky Colgan made amends during the penalty shoot out, for his earlier mistake that saw Swansea go ahead earlier in the game, when he accidentally handled the ball in to his own goal. After Akinfenwa had missed his spot kick all of the pressure was on the shoulders of Alan Tate. Colgan saved and catapulted they Yorkshire club into the Coca-Cola Championship much to the delight of celebrity fans and cricket legends umpire Dicky Bird and Darren Gough.
