EXCLUSIVE: Rob Edwards made big management vow to Jason Steele in his living room before he retired LTFC
He was handpicked by Watford chiefs because of his attractive brand of football at Forest Green that led to a host of suitors only for the Hornets to win the race.
Robins actually coached Edwards when he was a player at Barnsley in 2011, while Luke Steele was also at the club as first-choice goalkeeper. Like Robins, some of his first steps in football came at United, where he was a young goalkeeper trying to impress in the reserves. "I always liked him, I remember spitting my dummy out a little bit when he left Barnsley years ago, thinking this was the one guy to change it all and the rest of it."I mean, I am still a bit of a romantic when it comes to that side of things.Steele was also close pals with Edwards at Oakwell and admitted the former centre-back told him how he would emulate some of the Premier League's best managers.
