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.

Jackson, who rose to fame as part of one of the most popular acts of the 1970s, through hit singles such as I Want You Back and The Love You Save, will be cheering on Wednesday from his home in the United States.

The 61-year-old says he has been an Owls fan for over 30 years, remarking on his Twitter account @jermjackson5: "Dates back to the 80s. Went to a game. Can't remember the stadium but took an interest in ever since."
