Tottenham-loving Sam Twyford, five, and his younger brother Luke, four, will don the north London club's famous white shirts -- before leading their Premiership heroes onto the pitch at White Hart Lane.

The lads will represent their team at Spurs' vital home game against Manchester United on Sunday.

The soccer siblings, from Saffron Close, Horndon, had their names put down to represent Spurs by proud father Damian Twyford.

He said: "I have been a lifelong Tottenham fan. And I made sure I put their names down the day they were born. On match day the lads will meet all the players, get autographs and visit the players' lounge.

"It's going to be a fantastic day for them. I just hope that they get to see a good game and a Tottenham win," he added.
