May 20 2012 is a date etched into the memory of every Dumbarton fan.
A 4-1 triumph against Airdrie United in Lanarkshire at New Broomfield secured a 6-2 aggregate victory, and with it the Sons’ return to the second tier of Scottish football for the first time since 1995/96, and the man who led them there admits it remains the proudest moment of his career.
Having started the season as relegation favourites, boss Alan Adamson guided the Sons to glory - only to be sacked five months later, and told by the club’s chief executive he’d been the victim of his own success.
