Huddersfield, Leeds, Aston Villa and other EFL clubs that used to dominate English football

Huddersfield Town are just one game away from returning to the top division of English football for the first time since 1972.

They beat Sheffield Wednesday on penalties in the Championship play-off semi-finals to set up a Wembley clash against Reading in the play-off final.

That match will decide who joins Newcastle and Brighton in next season's Premier League, and a win for the Terriers will take them back to the top table in English football.

It was a table the Yorkshire club used to dominate.

They were the first team to win three succesive First Division titles, doing so in the 1920s, and were one of the most dominant sides in pre-war football.
