Hull boss Brown on a high
HULL City boss Phil Brown admits guiding the club to a first Wembley appearance and to the brink of the Premier League is the pinnacle of his football career.
The Tigers will face Bristol City in the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final on May 24 for the right to join West Brom and Stoke in the top flight next season after completing a 6-1 aggregate win over Watford in the semi-finals.
Goals from Nick Barmby, Caleb Folan, Richard Garcia and Nathan Doyle completed a comeback over Adrian Boothroyd’s side in the second leg and secured a 4-1 victory after Darius Henderson’s opener had briefly stunned a packed KC Stadium.
“As a coach and a manager obviously it is a massive high,” said Brown.
“As a player I’ve played at Wembley and been involved in play-offs and promotions, but nothing tops this. It means a lot to everyone.”
