Wycombe captain Joe Jacobson believes the League One play-off final against Sunderland could be one of the biggest games in his career.
The 35-year-old has achieved two promotions with the Chairboys and will lead his team out at Wembley Stadium against the Black Cats on May 21, which will be his third play-off final for the club.
Looking to prove the doubters wrong once more 👊

His first showpiece was in 2015 when Wycombe lost on penalties to Southend United, with his second being the victory over Oxford United five years later.
Jacobson got the winning goal in the latter to secure Wanderers’ promotion to the Championship.
Jacobson said: “Each final has its reasons for being the favourite one.
“Obviously, the last one in 2020 was a lot better because we won it, so that makes the final a lot better.

“It’s always a great achievement to reach a final and it hurts a lot when you lose one.
"I remember that summer (2015).
"I kept on going over stuff in my head about what we could have differently during the game and things like that.

“It’s going to be a massive game and it’s one the biggest games in our history.
“There are no doubts in how big this game is and for me, personally, it’s another one of many three or four games in my career where I’ll will look back and say this is probably one of my biggest ones.”
