DID YOU
KNOW?
Here are some
facts that you might not have known about Luton Town FC: -
- The Kenilworth
Road pitch measures 110yd x 72yd.
- When Joe Payne
scored a record ten goals in the historical match against Bristol Rovers on
April 13th 1936, his name didn't appear on the match programme. He was a
late replacement for Scottish international Billy Boyd, the only change on
either team.
- After Joe Payne's
10-goal achievement against Bristol Rovers watched by a crowd of 13,962, the
attendance increased to 23,142 for the next home game v Coventry City when Payne
scored again in a 1-1 draw.
- Luton's first game
at Kenilworth Road in 1905 was known as the "Green Game", because they
played Plymouth Argyle who wore green, the referee was a Mr. Green and the game
was started by a local brewer called Green.
- The club was
formed by an amalgamation of two leading local clubs - Wanderers and Excelsior.
- TV presenter Nick
Owen has a bar named after him in the main stand at Kenilworth Road.
- The Hatters
previous grounds were: 1885, Excelsior, Dallow Lane; 1897, Dunstable Road.
- Luton
Town have actually had a Footballer of the Year - in the 1958/59 campaign, Sid
Owen picked up the Footballer of the Year award.
