WALSALL boss Mat Sadler said guiding the Saddlers to a play-off final is the proudest moment of his footballing career after they completed a 4-1 aggregate win over Chesterfield.

It's a proud moment as Sadler and Saddlers go to Wembley

Late goals from Charlie Lakin and Levi Amantchi - with an Armando Dobra consolation for the Spireites in between - earned Walsall a 2-1 victory in the second leg.

And it provided a measure of redemption for a side who topped the League Two table for more than half of the season, only to falter badly to finish fourth after a 13-game winless run.

Asked where reaching the final against AFC Wimbledon on May 26 ranked in his achievements, Sadler said: "The top, for me. The very top.

"There's never any hiding place - it's been tough. But even throughout that run, we weren't very far away - we drew a lot of games when maybe we should have won.
