- Re: What first attracted you to Luton Town FC?
Born in Luton, dad a gateman, Syd Owen presented our school sports medals, would see players on the buses - all played into it being ‘in the blood’. Last Saturday was like a return to those ‘proper times’ in Division 1 when few teams were feared in any way.
But last Saturday was more than that. The emotional bonds to the club were only strengthened during the ups and downs and the descent into the Conference (though some of that surprisingly proved quite enjoyable). Saturday not only saw the tears well up for nostalgic reasons (what we were) but especially for the achievement by all at the club beyond anything previous for us, the Luton fans, and the town.
My old fashioned handwritten letters are winging their way to Gary Sweet and Nick Owen. Done so in the past and always had replies. How could I support any other team?
Finally, as a dedicated ‘we really should be playing in black and white’ advocate, the display of orange and the special triumph of the day has won me over. Orange through and through now!
