The 2011–12 campaign was Huddersfield Town's eighth consecutive season in the third tier ofEnglish football. After losing toPeterborough United in the play-off final the previous season, Town hoped to avoid the play-offs and push for automatic promotion this season.
This season saw Town sack their manager for the first time since the2008–09 season, whenLee Clark left the club on 15 February 2012.[1] He was replaced by the formerLeeds United boss,Simon Grayson on 20 February.
At the end of the season, Town finished in 4th place, meaning a 3rd consecutive season in the play-offs. They playedMilton Keynes Dons in the semi-finals, and won 3–2 on aggregate, winning the away leg 2–0, before losing the home leg 2–1.
They playedSheffield United in thefinal atWembley Stadium on 26 May. After the match finished 0–0 afterextra time, the Terriers won thepenalty shoot-out 8–7, after every player on the pitch took a penalty. The decisive penalty was taken by the UnitedgoalkeeperSteve Simonsen, who saw his penalty go over the crossbar, giving Huddersfield the glory, and promotion to theFootball League Championship.
