Former Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted he is "praying" the Swans get promoted back to the Premier League.
Rodgers, now in charge of Leicester City, was the man in charge when the Swans first went up the top flight through the play-offs in 2011.
And now, nine years later and with the club back in the play-offs for the first time since that 4-2 win over Reading, Rodgers says it would be "amazing" to welcome them back to the top flight.
Speaking to BBC Sport Wales, Rodgers said he had watched Wednesday night's dramatic match with Reading - even sending a text to goal hero Wayne Routledge.
"It was incredible," said Rodgers about the 4-1 win.
"I was looking at it from a Swansea perspective and seeing if they could jump above Cardiff, but to close a three-point gap and a five-goal gap [to Forest] in one game was phenomenal.
"I was absolutely delighted for the guys - it was a fantastic for a young team and a good young manager.
"Wayne's first goal was genius, that's Wayne, but what I didn't expect was the header. I sent him a message afterwards to say as much."
Rodgers also reflected on his own promotion with Swansea and the hard-fought semi-final win over Nottingham Forest.
"We went to the City Ground for the first leg and within one minute Mike Dean sends off Neil Taylor," Rodgers recalled.
"Everybody recognised our football, but we also had the resilience we showed that night.
"The home leg was such a memorable game and then we went on and got promoted."
He added the play-off final against Reading, capping off what he described as a "magical season", was "life-changing", saying there will never be a more important match in his career.
He was also full of praise for Steve Cooper, who was working in the youth system at Liverpool when Rodgers was the boss at Anfield.
"To come into his first job and play a brand of football that the Swansea supporters expect - I think he has done a fantastic job and I pray that they go on now and get promoted.
"[It] was so sad when Swansea went down [in 2018] because it's so hard to get to the Premier League. It would be so amazing if they could that status back."
