    The first year play off finals were played at Wembley was in nineteen ninety.

    At this time, the league was still operating in it's old format, pre premier league days, with four divisions numbered one to four, with division one being the best.  

    The first sides to be promoted in Wembley play off finals were Sunderland from the old second division, this despite losing the final to Swindon Town, who were relegated from the top flight without kicking a ball back to the second division after financial irregularities were found at the club.  

    Notts County beat Merseyside club Tranmere Rovers two nil in the third division play offs and Cambridge United beat Chesterfield United one nil in the fourth division play offs.  

    The matches played at Wembley were the first play off finals were played as a one off match, previuosly the games were played on a two legged home and away basis,
