Twin towers was the Chambers' back yard

But to young Adam and James Chambers, it might as well have been in their back garden.

Memories of their childhood triumph at the famous ground before the 1992 Fourth Division play-off final between Blackpool and Scunthorpe, are now sketchy to say the least.

The popular twins were part of a Grove Vale School team from Great Barr which won the Crime Prevention Trophy, a national six-a-side competition entered by more than 1,100 schools.

Yet while other 11-year-olds might have looked in awe at their surroundings, the Chambers boys were only interested in playing the game.

Adam said: "You get excited about playing in a final and you don't really think about where you are.

"I remember in the early rounds we would get a day off school to go and play and that was a big thing, to get time off school and not have to go and do lessons!

"I remember going to Swindon, where one of the rounds was and it was so enjoyable.

"When you get to the final, I don't think I took it in. I didn't think 'oh, this is the final.'

"We were always very confident we were going to win. But I don't remember thinking 'I'm at Wembley' or anything like that."

James interjects: "It might as well have been the back garden. Because I think at that age it is difficult at times to comprehend what you are doing.

"You know there is a ball involved, you understand you are playing with your mates but you just go out and enjoy it – that is what we did.

"We ended up winning quite comfortably, 7-3, I think. Only now does it ring home you have actually stepped foot on the turf."

The turf and the stadium are different these days but should leave much clearer memories for the twins, who make their first visit as professionals with Walsall for this Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final.

Their first all those years ago visit set the wheels in motion for their long careers, yet not immediately, as James reveals.

He said: "Everyone in our team was invited to go and be part the West Brom under-11 team, but our dad wouldn't let us go.

"He wanted us to enjoy our football. He felt that sometimes, when kids go to clubs, it stops being about enjoyment and becomes more of a job, even at an early age.

"So instead we went to Albion when we were 14 and things took off from there."

At Albion they would become the first twins to play in the first-team and then the first to play in the Premier League.

Their careers then took divergent paths, eventually meeting up again in 2012 when James joined Adam at the Saddlers.

Throughout, their dad Bert and mum Maureen were a constant presence and source of support.

Naturally, the former's death in November 2013, came as a devastating blow.

But ahead of their day at Wembley, the twins would prefer to focus on all the great moments Bert did see, rather than one he might miss.

Adam said: "We would love him to still be here and be coming to the game, I know our mum would as well. But he saw is in a lot of games, supported us from day one.

"He would be working night shifts and would come and watch school games and would watch us in the local park.

"He has seen us play in some great games and was very proud. It would have nice for him to be here but it is not to be.

"We have to be thankful for the support we had from him and our mum over the years, just helping us get to where we got to and the careers we have had in the game."

James added: "I think coming back here and playing for Walsall was a big thing for him as well.

"Before then, mum and dad would have to choose a game, when Adam was at Orient or I was at Doncaster or Watford.

"With us coming back to Walsall he got the chance to see us playing together again. That is what I'm happiest about."

In more ways than one, joining the Saddlers was something of a homecoming, a chance to work with long-time family friend Dean Smith.

He was assistant manager at Orient when Adam played for the Brisbane Road club, while assistant Richard O'Kelly was their one-time Albion youth coach

The twins, along with Smith and O'Kelly, are among several in the playing staff to have attended West Bromwich's Dartmouth High School.

With such ties feels as if they have, James says, returned to the beginning, adding: "We are in and around family.

"You almost feel you are back at the start of your career, when you have everyone coming to your games."

Adam said: "You have contacts at the club through other people. There are a lot of friends of the family who are big Walsall fans. You feel an attachment to the club. It does feel like a home."

Those ties will add further motivation, if any were needed, when they walk out at Wembley on Sunday.

Two decades and more might have passed since they ran out there as youngsters playing for their school but the Chambers twins, now 34, are proof age is just a number.

This season James has been a revelation in central defence, while Adam took over the captain's armband from Andy Butler. Sunday, he insists, is for the fans.

He said: "It does mean a lot to me individually, to get to Wembley, but I feel happier for being able to give something to everybody else – the fans, the staff.

"There are so many friends and family, it is the chance to give them that day out.

"That is what means the most to me, to be able to give something back to supporters who have never been to Wembley before."

"To be able to give them that it means everything to me."
