*Unlike current play-offs, in seasons 1986-87 and 1987-88 the four teams in each divisional play-off comprised 3 clubs from the lower division who were competing for promotion plus one from the higher division who were aiming to avoid relegation. Chelsea were that team from the First Division who were trying to avoid being relegated but their play off final defeat against Middlesbrough condemned them to the Second Division.
