JORDAN CLARK believes it would be a "massive fairy tale" for the Premier League if Luton Town can stay up.

But perhaps an even more remarkable story is Clark's own journey from playing non-league against Luton 10 years ago to facing Treble winners Manchester City today.

Clark lined up for Hyde in the Conference on April 26, 2014, when they faced Luton - and his current team-mate Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu - who were on their way back to being promoted to the Football League.

Fast forward and Clark has worked his way up through the divisions to share a pitch with his former Barnsley academy team-mate John Stones (inset).

That is what has made the Luton underdog story so special this season - from Conference to Premier League in nine years and why Rob Edwards' team have so much goodwill behind them.

It would be a sensational upset if Luton could thwart City's push for the title but, after beating the odds so many times, don't write them off.
