Luton Town boss Kevin Blackwell was full of praise for his players after they secured a 1-0 FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest to set up a lucrative third round clash with Liverpool.
Calvin Andrew's goal provided a major boost for the financially-stricken League One club, with Blackwell hailing the focus of his squad.
He told the Nottingham Evening Post: "It could be a very big result in Luton's history. All credit to the players, when you consider the pressure they have had to play under in the last few weeks.
"They have had to deal with FA inquiries and then charges and then administration. Then they have to get past a magnificent club like Nottingham Forest.
"The players were under terrific pressure, but you would not have known it. I thought they were magnificent.
"It was a great game, a great cup tie and Forest did put us under some pressure.
"I enjoyed the game. There was always a resilience and spirit about the players that made me very confident they would see it through."
