Redknapp tribute to Luton boss Edwards

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is full of praise for Luton manager Rob Edwards.

Redknapp wrote for The Sun: "I always say the best teams have the best players and Luton haven't got too many stars, didn't spend any money and have a small squad.

"But that doesn't mean Edwards is a poor manager. For me, it's the total opposite. And he's certainly put the hard yards in to get there, from a less than glamorous starting point.

"Forest Green to be exact, where he won the title and took them into League One for the first time ever — and got the Watford job.

"He never had a chance there — you're in a long list, Rob — so fair play to Luton for giving him a crack. That's what you call a punt paying off, as well.

"Tenth in the Championship when he was appointed, third by the end and a day they'll never forget at Wembley in the play-off final.

"A one-season stay it may be but the memories keep on coming. And what a bond he has built."
