    What I notice on that video is every one of the lads cracking a wee smile at the question, says a lot about what we already know.

    The lads character is beyond question. We have had far better players but he’s a club legend. My all time club legend is Bally and he wasn’t a Sessegnon or a Gyan. He was just bought into the club and gave and brought us pride.

    Luke is in that category. The lad's a diamond.

    He's mad as a box of frogs, he must be fantastic in the dressing room.

    Already at legend status as far as I am concerned.
    Worth it for some of his antics alone

    A pretty much perfect example of what hard work can achieve, not the most talented player when he joined but has worked tirelessly to make himself a better player and every manager since we where promoted have trusted him to do a job for the team.

    Clearly loves the club, the fans and the area, hes a superb role model for the young kids coming through.

    Class man.

    If you watched these antics and that where he jumped in like he was coming into the Roylal Rumble in wrestling this season you would think he was completely mad but he also seems like a very sensible and genuine lad aswell. Just seems to have this crazy side in the pitch!

    ....and me! We'll be talking about this lad for decades to come and for me, he is already becoming a legend of our great club.

    His rise to first choice CB is quite remarkable. As a ball playing CB, he suits the modern game of playing out from the back with his excellent passing ability.

    The guy puts everything into every game he plays, is rarely injured and is a natural leader.

    It will be a sad day when he hangs up his boots, or leaves the club.

    Happy Birthday Luke
    Loved this bit - when he made that tackle at the end of the playoff final

    Love to see a defender enjoying a well executed strong tackle. Makes you think the game isn't entirely lost to the diving and cheating fannies.

    That would’ve hurt Luke missing out tonight. He’ll be raring to go on Saturday!

    He’s proved me wrong, don’t mind admitting… always thought of him as a very limited footballer. But his work ethic is immense and he has become a vital player for our team

    Sorely missed him last night. If he's fit he plays for me on Saturday. CB's were very jittery, slow and cumbersome.
