GLAD HATTERS
When Luton Town won the playoff final at Wembley last season to win promotion to the Premier League, they were immediately installed as white-hot favourites to go straight back down. The plucky Hatters hadn’t played in the top flight since 1992, when they were relegated just a few months before Sky Sports invented football in England and records officially began, but on that fateful day at Wembley they became the first team in history to return to the top tier of English football after suffering multiple relegations into what these days is known as the National League. Indeed, on Football Daily’s only ever trip to Kenilworth Road a little more than 13 years ago, we saw them play Forest Green on a freezing night in a match partly soundtracked by the chattering of our own teeth and the defiant chants of 14 (yes, we counted them) travelling fans.
