But a trip to Wembley wouldn’t be his first having already been to the home of football to watch Wrexham in the 2022 FA Trophy final.

Leeds will first have to beat Norwich in the semi-finalsCredit: GettyFerrell will be hoping his next visit to Wembley is more successful and it could come with Leeds in two week’s time.
Daniel Farke’s side have been right in the promotion mix for much of the season and even sat top of the Championship in March.
However, they won just once in their final six matches of the season and finished third behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town.
Leeds were relegated from the Premier League last season so victory in the play-offs would therefore seal an instant return.
