Huddersfield hit the big time! Terriers reach the Premier League for first time ever after 45 Years.

Ten gruelling months of Championship football, 46 games and the anxieties of the play-off semi-finals, the final £185million ticket to the Premier League came down to 10 kicks in a penalty shoot-out. In Wagner's own words, his chairman Dean Hoyle appointed 'an unknown and crazy German' in the November of 2015. Well, everybody knows him now. Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner couldn't resist a swipe at QPR manager Ian Holloway after his side defied expectations by sealing promotion to the Premier League. The Terriers are returning to the top flight for the first time in 45 years after overcoming Reading 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw in the Championship play-off final at Wembley. Christopher Schindler scored the winning penalty after Liam Moore had blazed over and Jordan Obita saw his effort saved by Danny Ward - and Huddersfield boss Wagner was delighted to prove his critics wrong.
