Jacob will be here shortly. In the meantime, here's an excerpt from our interview with Huddersfield boss Simon Grayson:

When it comes to pre-match speeches Simon Grayson is a creature of habit. "Have no regrets," are the words the Huddersfield Town manager invariably uses to conclude his team talks and that message will almost certainly resonate around a Wembley dressing room on Saturday .

If Huddersfield win the League One play-off final against Sheffield United and end an 11-year absence from English football's second tier many will interpret it as a vindication of Grayson's managerial qualities in the wake of his controversial sacking by Leeds in February. The former Leicester, Aston Villa and Blackburn right-back or midfielder sees things slightly differently. "What happened at Leeds doesn't really motivate me, there'll be no extra satisfaction if we get promoted," he says. "I've never been the sort to be motivated by personal glory."

Outside the Galpharm Stadium the temperature is, unusually for a west Yorkshire town on the edge of the Pennines, approaching 30C. Inside a windowless ground-floor media room it feels even warmer, but Grayson retains his cool, body-swerving invitations to discuss the news that bookmakers have made him the third favourite for the Villa vacancy before further emphasising that he is in possession of one of the best disguised egos in football.

Listening to him talk fluent commonsense, it is easy to understand why, as a youngster at Leeds and, later, a senior professional at Leicester, he swiftly established himself as a firm favourite of those clubs' managers at the time, Howard Wilkinson and Martin O'Neill.

"It's nice to have a promotion on your CV as it suggests you're doing your job properly, but this isn't about me, it's about Huddersfield Town," says the straight-batting 42-year-old, who grew up in Bedale, north Yorkshire with Leeds posters adorning his bedroom walls and a love of sport fostered by his PE teacher father. "This club has been in League One far too long; it needs to get into the Championship. My remit is to get them there."
