Luton Town might be in danger of relegation from the Premier League this season, but at least their social media team is having a good year.

The club's manager, Rob Edwards, has gained a reputation for getting great performances out of a team which is many times less expensive than many rivals.

However, social media users are more bothered about how he looks.

A clip of Edwards talking after Luton's 2-1 FA Cup win over Bolton was viewed nearly 14 million times on X/Twitter, and fan edits of Edwards have also been making rounds on TikTok.

"The type of man you go to war for," one TikToker wrote, while another commented: "Lol I used to live in Luton. Maybe I need to go back!"

On X/Twitter, one user wrote: "Luton could double their transfer budget if they launched a Rob Edwards calendar in the next few hours."

Another said: "Anything this man says, goes. He says 1+1=3? Okay, now it is. He says the Earth is flat? Yes it is. I could never disagree with the words of Rob Edwards."

A third said: "The type of man you wake up at 3am to cook food for."

In response to the Edwards love-in, Luton's social media team wrote: "We have no idea what happened."





While a viral TikTok from Melina (@melinadautovic) who has gone through all the best reactions to the internet thirsting over Edwards now has over 359,000 views.
