Striker Brett Ormerod hit the decisive goal in first-half injury time for the northwest England seaside club, known for its tangerine kit, sealing a return to the top flight for the first time since 1971.

Blackpool, in the bottom tier of the English football league 10 years ago, secured a place in the Premier League with a 3-2 Championship (division two) playoff final triumph over Cardiff City at Wembley stadium on Saturday.

"This is absolutely magnificent, not just for the team but for the whole area we come from," said a hoarse Ian Holloway, Blackpool's manager.

"You don't understand what it means, we're going to have so much money," he told Sky Sports, referring to the Deloitte estimated £90 million ($129.3 million) reward for the winner of the match dubbed the ''richest game in football.''

Ormerod, who has played in all four English football divisions, was lost for words.

"I honestly don't know what to say," the 33-year-old mumbled, fighting back the tears.
