Cardiff City star Joe Ledley has admitted the upcoming Championship play-off final against Blackpool will be the biggest game in the club's history.

The Bluebirds beat Leicester City 4-3 on penalties after an absorbing contest at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday evening and Ledley, Cardiff born-and-bred, has admitted it would be a dream to win promotion to the Premier League on May 22.

Speaking to BBC Sport, he said: "Everyone wants to be in the Premier League as its the biggest and best league in the world.

"The manager, the players and the fans want it so badly and we're now daring to dream about promotion.

"It has been a thought at the back of my mind but now we're possibly 90 minutes away from the Premier League and being a Premier League club.

"But we are not getting carried away as Blackpool are a very good team and an excellent footballing side.

"The final is all or nothing as it could be the best season this club has ever had or the cruellest for getting so near yet so far.

"But promotion will mean everything to us and me as a Cardiff boy, it would be a childhood dream come true.
