For the vast majority of Luton fans this will be a sad day indeed.
Rob Edwards gave them one of the best days in the club’s history and then led with honour and dignity during some rough moments.

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards says a number of players could return from injury and suspension to make the squad for the trip to QPR on Monday night.
