Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

Home from work now and able to have a proper look. If (on a full screen) you go to 4:19 and look at the fellow above the word ‘member’ there’s a fellow with fair hair and dark blue shirt - whilst I can’t remember his name he was known around Leighton Buzzard as being well up for it (Luton fan, he was a bit older than us), also - and believe me I’ve a vivid recollection of this - the fellow directly above the word ‘out’ (appears to be looking down and too his right). I encountered him after the match on the Maple Road bridge trying to get a few lads together for another go (he was West Ham) and I still remember, clearly - the words uttered by him to another fellow ‘we need to stamp this lot out but f*ck they’re game for a laugh’ (true story).

One other stand out memory from that afternoon - the penalty that led to the equaliser. You might remember Jake saved it only for Ray Stewart to net the rebound. Cue one side of that corner celebrating, then the other side, followed by what can only be described all-round windmilling from both sides (I watched from the Oak Road).

I remember there being bits about it in the Evening Post that week though if you look at the Hatters Heritage website and the Luton News report of the match there is no mention of the trouble. I’d been at the 3-3 Chelsea match a couple of months earlier but for my money the trouble that day (West Ham) was much worse. Imagine if trouble - on that scale happened today? It wouldn’t of course but if it did it’d make massive headlines.
