Blackpool's match-winning goalscorer Brett Ormerod believes his teammates deserved their promotion to the Premier League so much.

The 33-year old forward, who netted the third and final goal in the 'Pools 3-2 win over Cardiff City in the play-off, wrote in his column for the Daily Mail that he still couldn't believe the team managed to push through to the top flight and was happy he could share the win with so many deserving mates.

'Blackpool reaching the Premier League is like landing on the moon without a rocket or a space helmet,' he wrote.

'That's how big an achievement it is, considering this club's resources. It really is amazing. I'm still in a daze. Emotionally and physically shattered.

'The night before the game I couldn't sleep very well. I've never been as nervous because I've never known a group of lads who deserved it so much. Then I couldn't sleep on Saturday night either, because the adrenalin was pumping.'
