VIDEO: Every National League playoff final ever

We’ve decided to take a look and list every National League playoff final ever since it’s introduction in the 2002/03 season.

It is often been the highlight of the season for some people and it’s one of the most high-pressured single games in English football with a place in the EFL at stake.

Sometimes that pressure produces classics, sometimes absolute duds, but they’re all worth watching. And you can watch all of them here…
