Hundreds of supporters swarmed on to the pitch at the final whistle and former England and Leeds star Smith was surrounded.

Dons boss Karl Robinson ran on to frantically get Yorkshire-born Smith to the safety of the tunnel.

Robinson said: “Alan was punched, kicked, spat at — the lot. I ran on and had to push supporters off him.

“I thought I might be able to calm things down. But one or two mindless idiots have spoiled what was a wonderful game.

“English football has moved on immensely and scenes like that aren’t great.”

Huddersfield, who will now play Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United in the League One play-off final on May 26, went ahead with striker Jordan Rhodes’ 40th of the season.

Daniel Powell’s 20-yard shot levelled it and Smith scored two minutes into stoppage time with a far-post diving header.

Dons manager Robinson added: “I’m gutted because we deserved more than we got.”

Terriers chief Simon Grayson said: “You could see the scenario of Alan coming on and scoring. Fortunately there were only two minutes to go but you know what can happen in two minutes.”
