Highlights of the 2008 Championship play-off final between Bristol City and Hull

Ahead of the play-off final weekend, we dig into the Sky Sports Vault to look back at a classic from 2008, when Hull beat Bristol City.

The Tigers face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship final on Saturday - and how they will hope for a repeat of this result, when a Dean Windass volley fired them into the Premier League for the first time in their history.

A cagey affair was played out in front of a almost 87,000 but one moment of quality settled the encounter, hometown hero Windass smashing home from Fraizer Campbell's pass.

The newly-promoted Tigers were favourites for relegation the following season season but Phil Brown's side managed to secure safety in the Premier League on the final day with the manager famously serenading the fans on the pitch of the KC Stadium.
