The first came on 17 May 1995 and the Terriers beat Brentford in the Division Two Play-Off Semi-Finals.
Neil Warnock’s side drew the first leg 1-1 at the McAlpine Stadium before falling behind in the second leg at Griffin Park. However, Andy Booth’s 30th minute equaliser and a battling performance took the game to penalties.
Despite Pat Scully missing Town’s second penalty kick, goalkeeper Steve Francis became the hero saving spot kicks from both Mundee and Bates before Darren Bullock scored the winner.
