Key Man: Andy Hessenthaler has been behind much of Gillingham's success in recent years and this was recognised when he was made manager following the resignation of Peter Taylor to go to Leicester. Hessenthaler has never played on the big stage and Division One football is new to him but he will be determined to finish on a high before he hangs up his boots and focuses fully on his managerial role. Don't bet against him being a success on and off the pitch.
