Luton coach
Mike Newell, hoping to inspire his struggling team, pinned the famous
Rudyard Kipling poem
"If" on the locker room wall. "But I don't think any of the players could make head or tail of it," he said. "I
left it up for an hour but took it down before it got defaced." Striker
Rowan Vine said, "I didn't know what it was. I thought it might be an angry letter from a fan so I
kept well away from it." But captain
Steve Robinson did take a peak and said, "I certainly knew the gaffer [coach] didn't write it." Still, Luton went out and beat League
Championship leader Preston, 2-0.
