On Saturday, April 30th 2005, Luton Town
Football Club lifted the League One Championship trophy after a 4-2
victory over Brentford
at Kenilworth Road. With Kenilworth Road in a party atmosphere and ready
to celebrate winning the League One Championship - which had been won the
previous week at Wrexham
- Brentford threatened
to dampen the atmosphere slightly when leading 2-1 with just six minutes
left. However, the Hatters - enduring their best season for many years -
fought back to win 4-2 with three late goals that epitomised the fighting
spirit of the side during the entire season.
At the end of the match, the Luton Town
players lifted the League One Championship trophy amidst scenes of
unforgettable joy and, after the players embarked on a lap of honour, the
Luton Town fans invaded the pitch to celebrate the phenomenal season.
Finally, the Hatters players appeared in the Main Stand Directors' Box at
Kenilworth Road to once again hold aloft the trophy for the thousands of
delighted Hatters fans on the pitch.
The photographs below, taken by many
Luton Town supporters, captured the brilliant day that took place in the
glorious sunshine at Kenilworth Road.
