On this day 21 years ago, over 25,000 Huddersfield Town fans made the journey to Wembley to see their team achieve promotion.

A place in the then First Division was the prize for a 2-1 win against Bristol Rovers.

Two Town products, Andy Booth and Chris Billy, scored the goals that memorable day but the team as a whole retains a place in the hearts, minds and memories of the Town faithful.

Now long since retired and in their 40s and 50s, find out what the heroes of that May 1995 day are up to now...

Steve Francis

Ffirst choice keeper for four years from 1993, including the 1995 play-off final victory, Steve Francis already had fond memories of Wembley after winning the Full Members Cup with Chelsea in 1986.

The stopper made 186 league appearances for Town during his six years in Yorkshire for departing for Northampton Town, where he appeared just three times in the league before hanging up his gloves.

Now 51, Francis is a landscape gardener.

Simon Trevitt

Born in Dewsbury, Simon Trevitt spent nearly his entire career inside the boundary of Yorkshire - nine years at Huddersfield Town came to a close in 1995 but he made the switch to Hull City - only the briefest of loan spells at Swansea right at the end of his professional career took him outside the county.

A fans' favourite, the right back came through the junior ranks and went on to start at Wembley for his boyhood club.

After hanging up his boots in the late 1990s, he played cricket for Liversedge cricket club and works as a postman.

The skipper at Wembley in 1995, Lee Sinnott played 87 times in the league for Town as part of a playing career that spanned close to two decades.

The Staffordshire-born defender went into management after retirement, and achieved considerable success with Farsley Celtic before spells with Port Vale and Bradford Park Avenue.

In 2011 he took over as manager of Altrincham FC, and he led the club to promotion from the Conference North with a 2-1 win against Guisley in 2014. However, he was sacked in March 2016 with the club one point clear of relegation.

Ronnie Jepson

Three years at Town between 1993 and1996 yielded over a century of appearances for Ronnie Jepson, who chalked up 36 league goals.

The striker has stayed in football following the conclusion of his playing days and has been manager of Gillingham and Bury, and was recently involved at Rotherham United as part of Neil Warnock's staff.

Gary Crosby

Crosby arrived in Huddersfield on a free transfer in 1994 following seven years and more than 150 appearances in Nottingham Forest colours.

Since retiring he has gone into coaching, linking up with Nigel Clough firstly at Burton Albion, subsequently at Derby County and Sheffield United and is now back at Burton.

Iain Dunn

A cult hero with Town fans who would sing about his lack of hair, Iain Dunn scored the first ever Golden Goal in the Auto Windscreens Shield for Town in 1994.

Kevin Blackwell

More than 200 appearances for Boston United in the 1980s comprised the bulk of Blackwell's professional games and by the time he joined Huddersfield he had added coaching duties to his playing role.

A member of Neil Warnock's coaching team he has since been in the dugout at Leeds, Luton and Sheffield United, and was assistant manager at Rotherham in 2016.

Jon Dyson

Born in Mirfield, Jon Dyson made more than 200 appearances for Town during 13 years at the club before being released in 2003 following administration.
