| Description |
This book presents a pictorial history of Luton Town from 1885 through to the summer of 2000. It is loosely split into 6 chapters, each chapter having an opening page of text detailing the club's history over the period before being followed by photos and the odd piece of memorabilia. Each picture comes with a little caption detailing what it is.
Highlights include photos from away friendlies in 1956 against Barcelona, presumably at the Nou Camp, and Dynamo Bucharest where 120,000 spectators turned out; a picture of Ron Baynham making a save in the 1950s, long before goalies wore gloves; the famous photo of Town fans dressed up prior to the 1959 FA cup final (this can be seen on the cover too); Pleat doing the jig across the Maine Road pitch in 1983 (also on the cover); all the Luton goals from the victorious 1988 League Cup final and pictures of former stars in action such as Graham French and Malcolm MacDonald.
