Joe Edwards a risky but exciting gamble as new era dawns for Millwall

He was heavily involved in the development of Mason Mount, Reece James, Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham, Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour — all full internationals today — and mentored by Brendan Rodgers and Paul Clement. Michael Beale, who also made the final three for the Millwall job, overlapped with Edwards at Cobham. “[Joe] was a big part of my development in the Under-18s and Under-23s,” England and AC Milan’s Tomori said in an interview with Standard Sport in 2020.
