BETTER stop dreaming of the quiet life because it's the one you'll never know.

In the town called Malice, Luton's bouncers are coming out to play - and Premier League defenders had better be ready when Elijah Adebayo and Carlton Morris are on the door.

As English football's greatest boomerang completed the Hatters' journey from top flight to non-League and back again in 31 years, their twin strikers provided the rocket thrust and 40,000 fans sang along with The Jam's No.1 hit from 40 years ago.

Despite losing captain Tom Lockyer, whose unexplained collapse was a frightening diversion from the £180m at stake at Wembley, Luton deserve their return to elite orbit.

Their energy, dynamism and directness might not get them very far against the big guns but their Malice in Wonderland story will take the players to Las Vegas on an end-of-term bender on Thursday.

Top scorer Morris will be left behind because his fiancee Imogen is due to give birth to their son in a couple of weeks but he is relishing his chance to terrorise the aristocrats when Luton's peasants are unleashed on the dance floor in August.
