Neil Warnock roared his delight after Danny Ward’s stunning second-half strike secured Huddersfield ’s Championship status and relegated Reading.
Legendary former Sheffield United boss Warnock, 74, arrived at the John Smith’s Stadium in February when the Terriers were heading to League One at pace.
Danny Schofield and Mark Fotheringham had both been axed during the season after disastrous spells in charge but Warnock stopped the rot, restored belief and could finally celebrate survival on Thursday night.
