Luton Town chief Gary Sweet: We'll prove ourselves Prem worthy

Luton Town chief Gary Sweet says they'll prove they belong in the Premier League next season.

The Hatters won their promotion playoff final against Coventry City on Saturday.

"I am numb with joy," said Sweet. "I cannot believe it. We are here, where we wanted to be. History.

"I never believed the club would die, or believed the town would die. I was determined never to let that happen.

"We're on the up. We haven't finished. This is not the last chapter."

Club legend Mick Harford - a former Luton player and manager - told BBC 3CR: "It's probably one of the best things to happen in my life.

"I was in tears at the end. We're at the promised land and we fully deserved it. I look forward to the challenge of the Premier League."
