Notts County match-winner Jodi Jones has insisted that his 120th minute winner against Boreham Wood was one of the best moments in his professional career.
The Magpies came from two goals down to book their place in the National League play-off final in one of the most dramatic encounters the fifth division has ever seen.
Introduced in place of Adam Chicksen, the 25-year-old smashed the ball beyond Joe McDonnell in the dying embers of the fixture at Meadow Lane - his first since joining on loan from Oxford United in January.

"I would say it was up there with one of the best moments in my career," Jones explained on what it meant to score the goal that sent Notts to Wembley.
"I have had, not to take it back to these moments but I have had some tough times when I have been at previous teams when I have got to the play-offs, I have always had to miss it and it has always been a sad time for me and my family, but that just tops of everything - it is an amazing feeling."
But the Magpies didn't have it all their own way, finding themselves 2-0 down at half-time thanks to goals from Femi Ilesanmi and Lee Ndlovu.
But Jones explained his half-time message for his team-mates before being introduced into the action - reiterating his excitement to come on and make an impact under such strenuous circumstances.
"When we were 2-0 down, it was a gutting feeling but I said to the boys myself that we could have been three-nil up in the first 15 minutes so why can't we score three goals in the second half?
"After that I was itching to get on because after that I knew I could get at their full-backs and new I could get the better of both of them and I knew what I could do when I got on the pitch.
"I was excited to get on and to get an assist and a goal and I can't really ask for more than that."
The full-time whistle was greeted with jubilant scenes from the home crowd, with supporters gracing the Meadow Lane turf to congratulate this special group of players.
"It was crazy to be fair, I didn't expect it but the fans were quality and they have backed us all the way and they did not stop singing.
"These are the things might not understand how much the fans have pushed us, so without the fans we would have never been able to win the game today and we would never have been to be where we are in the season."
