League One play-off final: Stockport and Bolton aim to end second tier exile

Bolton Wanderers and Stockport County will meet in the League One play-off final at Wembley on Sunday, with both clubs seeking promotion back to the second tier of English football. Stockport manager Dave Challinor, who began his managerial career at Colwyn Bay in regional football, is making his fifth visit to Wembley as a manager. Bolton boss Steven Schumacher, appointed in January 2025, has yet to record a win against Challinor's Stockport side ahead of this high-stakes clash.
