Huddersfield Town were promoted to the Premier League after a nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Reading FC at Wembley on Monday.
The Terriers proved a plethora of pundits wrong by achieving promotion, with more tipping the West Yorkshire side for relegation at the start of the campaign than to go up.
And Town have also defied history by sealing promotion to the top flight.
