Rob Edwards was full of praise for the emergency services who saved Tom Lockyer's life in a frightening incident during the Luton Town match against Bournemouth last weekend. Speaking to the club media, Edwards described it as "the scariest moment I've ever had" and emphasized his gratitude for the emergency services.
"I won't be able to articulate all my feelings. I sensed something was different this time to May - it was then about raising the alarm and trying to clear the area and let the medics do their job," he said at his pre-match press conference. "While I'm on that topic, wow, didn't they do their jobs. They saved him, and made every decision bang on, with everyone watching. They're heroes."
It is still too early to tell what Tom Lockyer's footballing future looks like, but he has since been released from hospital and has had a defibrillator fitted. Edwards said it is now all about recovery for the 29-year-old.
The Luton Town-Bournemouth game will be rescheduled for later in the season and Edwards said that both clubs will have a special bond going forward. He thanked everyone at Bournemouth, particularly Phillip Billing for his quick reaction and David Brooks and his partner for being there for Tom Lockyer's family.
The Hatters will be looking for a win against Newcastle this Saturday as they look to end a three-match losing streak and close the gap to Nottingham Forest in 17th.
