The 1987 Football League Second Division play-off Final was contested by Leeds United and Charlton Athletic.

After two legs at Elland Road and Selhurst Park (Charlton's home ground at the time) the two teams were tied 1–1 on aggregate, each team having won their home tie 1–0 meaning the away goal rule couldn't separate the sides. A one-off decider was arranged at St. Andrews.

After full-time the score was 0–0, meaning extra time was needed. John Sheridan scored first for Leeds in the 99th minute, however, Peter Shirtliff scored twice in the 113th and 117th minute to ensure Charlton kept their top flight status.
