WATCH: Jermaine Jackson's a Sheffield Wednesday fan

Jermaine Jackson from the Jackson 5 is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter and he's even re-written a song for the Championship play-off final

Sheffield Wednesday will have a celebrity fan cheering them on in Saturday's Sky Bet Championship play-off final - Jermaine Jackson of the Jackson Five.

Jackson has even re-written a song in honour of Wednesday's Wembley appearance against Hull City. The match is live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 4pm.

The Owls are one match away from a return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence, following a 3-1 aggregate win in the play-off semi-final against Brighton.

Ross Wallace's goal cancelled out Lewis Dunk's opener to secure a 1-1 draw on the night and send Wednesday back to the national stadium for the first time in 23 years.
