BURNLEY’S Robbie Blake, who also tasted promotion to the Premier League with Bradford in 1999 hailed today's win as the best achievement in his career.
Blake said: “To get where we are is a fantastic achievement, probably the best in my career.
”Owen Coyle deserves tremendous credit, he is so enthusiastic, he believes in us so much as individuals and as a team.
”We’ve played 61 games, had a cup run and now we’ve gone up at Wembley - it can’t get any better.
”We had a couple of chances to finish it off - it would have been good to get a second goal but one was enough. We thoroughly deserve the victory.
”We had belief all week long we’d do it. We had confidence in our ability and we had the players to score goals at any moment - we’ve had it all season and come up with the goods again today.”
