Honours and Achievements
Gillingham's only major honour in English football is the Football League Fourth Division championship, which the club won in the 1963–64 season. The club has also achieved promotion on four other occasions, most recently in the 2008–09 season, when a 1–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in the 2009 Football League Two play-off final secured a return to League One following relegation the previous season.
Gillingham's only previous victory at Wembley Stadium came in the 1999–2000 season, when a 3–2 victory over Wigan Athletic in the Second Division play-off final clinched promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in Gillingham's history. Between 1938 and 1950, when the club played outside the Football League, Gillingham won the Southern Football League championship on two occasions and the Kent League once.
