Steve Claridge jumped off the subs bench this afternoon to help Gosport Borough to a stunning victory at Poole Town in the Southern League Division 1 South & West play-off final.

Poole were leading 1-0 until the 45-year-old Claridge forced extra-time with a late, late equaliser.

Former Eastleigh and AFC Totton striker Justin Bennett put the visitors ahead and BBC television pundit Claridge added a third.
