Interview: Scott Arfield, Huddersfield FC

However, the Huddersfield Town midfielder insists that today's League 1 play-off final between the Yorkshire outfit and Peterborough United at Old Trafford is even more important than the Hampden showpiece.

Arfield, whose non-stop style has driven the Terriers to the verge of the Championship, believes that this is the biggest game of his career.

"We've sold over 30,000 tickets for this game and you've no idea just how much it means to the town," he said.

"Everyone who lives in Huddersfield supports Huddersfield - there aren't any glory hunters who travel to watch other clubs. On the surface this game is similar to the Scottish Cup final but there's much more at stake financially in this one.

"We know that the Championship is a much stronger league and that's where we want to be. There's a sense in the town that once the first promotion comes then we can go all the way to the Premier League.

"And why not? Blackpool and Norwich City have done exactly that in the two previous seasons and that's our aim.

"For the players, the difference between winning and losing is the difference between playing West Ham or Wycombe next season - and I know where we want to be."

Today's clash shouldn't be short of goalmouth action - Huddersfield have scored 107 goals in 60 games this season while Peterborough have been even more prolific, notching 128 from 56 matches.

"They have some excellent forwards - including Craig Mackail-Smith, who played for Scotland against Brazil - who can score out of nothing," said Arfield.

"We're also capable, though, and Jordan Rhodes, who made his debut for Scotland's Under-21s this season, has been on fire at times."

Former Hearts, Everton and Scotland full-back Gary Naysmith - a Scottish Cup winner with Hearts in 1998 - is one of the older heads in the Huddersfield side at 32 and Arfield admits he'll be looking to him for guidance.

"Gary recovered from injury in time to help guide us through the run-in and it's a privilege to share a dressing room with him. He tells us great stories about his career and he's always there to calm the younger lads like me down when that's needed.

"This is our fourth match against Peterborough and we've each won one and the other was drawn so there really isn't a favourite.

"I'm looking forward to playing in that great arena.I've never been there before, although I've visited Anfield a few times to watch Danny Wilson playing when he's sorted me out with tickets.

"Both sets of players will be knackered after playing so many games - this will be my 53rd of the season and we've constantly had midweek matches for the last three months.

"On the plus side we haven't lost a league game this year and we're going into the final on a 27-game unbeaten run so our confidence couldn't be higher.

"Everyone says that, short of claiming the championship, winning the play-off final is the best way to go up and I'm hoping to discover that's true."
