Remembering past matches played by the Iron on April 18...

Former Iron players born on this day: George Wallace (1920), David Mirfin (1985), Joe Wilcox (1989).

The Iron drew 2-2 at Colchester in 2015 and moved a step closer to securing safety in League One. 

We had Hakeeb Adelakun's looping stoppage-time leveller to thank.

Theo Robinson's effort into the top corner gave the visitors the lead before Tom Eastman levelled from six yards.

Chris Porter thought he had won it with his late goal but Adelakun replied with time almost up.
