Worst ending to a game

Which was the game in either Championship or League one where all the winger had to do was walk or kick the ball off the pitch 5 yards to his left after the hooter had gone, and he tried to kick it cross field, it stayed in & other team scored so they lost?

 

Trying to remember as there was an almost stupidly ending to an American football match over the weekend, and the above is the only sporting moment i can remember which was worse?

 

TIA.

I'll never forget this one because I was there.

Shaun Ainscough's brain storm created a finish that will probably never be equalled. Most people are familiar with the final play, but the lead-up was what made it all the remarkable - Batley were leading Featherstone 26-6 with seven and a half minutes left on the clock. Fev then scored 3 tries in rapid succession before that famous/infamous last play.

I remember when we played Donny Dragons at home in 2000, Craig Weston (then of Donny) missed an easy conversion with the last play of the match that would've won the game, hooter went immediately afterwards.

We won 19-18 if memory serves me right.
