Blackpool won promotion to the Barclays Premier League beating Cardiff City 3-2 at Wembley.
The Seasiders twice came from behind to edge a five-goal thriller to reach the top flight for the first time since 1971, writes Graham Hiley.
Charlie Adam's superb free-kick cancelled out Michael Chopra's early goal and then Gary Taylor-Fletcher equalised soon after Joe Ledley had restored Cardiff's advantage.
Former Southampton striker Brett Ormerod hit the winner in the final minute of a thrilling first half to ensure Blackpool became the first side to win promotion through all four divisions via the play-offs.
Both clubs named unchanged sides for the Championship play-off final at Wembley, a match rated as the most valuable in world football worth a guaranteed £88m for the winners.
