Gary Johnson's return to Huish Park, the scene of many of his greatest triumphs as Yeovil Town, proved to be an unhappy one as his Cheltenham Town side were defeated by Darren Way's Glovers.
Goals from Otis Khan and Darren Ward gave Yeovil a two-goal cushion before former Torquay United defender Aaron Downes replied for the Robins before Matt Dolan added a third for the Glovers on the stroke of half-time.
In the 57th minute, Billy Waters reduced Cheltenham's arrears to a single goal but an excellent solo goal from leading scorer Tom Eaves in injury time ensured that Way the apprentice would outfox Johnson the master.
It will not be the first time this season that Johnson will face one of his former Huish Park charges as the Robins are due to face a Luton Town side managed by former Glovers' left-back Nathan Jones.
Way and Jones are not the only members of the Yeovil squads that Johnson managed to be taking their first steps in the world of management.
Johnson's son, Lee, is currently managed Bristol City in the Championship following promising spells with Oldham and Barnsley, whilst former Glovers defender Adam Lockwood recently took charge of National League side Guiseley on a permanent basis following a successful caretaker spell.
Further down the pyramid former midfield schemer Gavin Williams is managing Merthyr Town in the Southern League Premier.
