Scunthorpe boosted their Championship survival hopes with a slender victory at home against play-off-chasing Plymouth Argyle in 2008.
Ian Morris scored the winning goal 10 minutes after half-time, playing a neat one-two with Geoff Horsfield and seeing his shot deflected in off a defender.
Jim Goodwin forced an early save from keeper Luke McCormick as the Iron pressed, before Jamie Mackie was twice denied as Plymouth surged forward.
Argyle's hopes ended when McCormick was dismissed for deliberate handball.
