BBC Sport speaks to three players who have won the Championship play-off final about their emotions that day.
The stakes couldn't be higher as the fate of an entire season comes down to a single match in front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley.On Sunday, Leeds United take on Southampton for a spot in the Premier League. A special occasion awaits.
"We had that tourist day because most of the squad had never been there. It was genius because we turned up the next day and were right into game mode. "You could see what it meant to the community. There were more people lining the streets than actually lived there. "The message from Brendan Rodgers was: 'This is the moment to change your life.' Playing in the Premier League is all you dream of as a boy. Watching your idols on Match of the Day - every footballer wants to get there and experience what it's like.
"The emotions were just all over the place. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking 'Is this actually happening?' It didn’t sink in until I saw the fixtures and the league table refreshed, with Swansea next to all these big clubs. It was unreal. "I didn't start an awful lot of games for Palace, but I knew that if it was tight going into the latter stages, Ian Holloway would throw me on.
