Championship Football:
Bristol City v Hull City (SS1)
Hull City's veteran striker Dean Windass is looking forward to the trip to the famous stadium. Windass has seen his share of controversy on the pitch, but last season kept the Tigers in the Championship with a vital contribution to their goal difference. This season they are at the top end of the table and the play-off final will be the 39-year-old local hero's first appearance on the hallowed turf for Hull City. Can he complete the fairy tale by helping his hometown team to a place in the Premier League?
