I went to School with Neil Jackson. He was in 'Dream Team' for a while. Barton Lad
Matt Berry and Tim Downie, both in Toast of London, both big Hatters fans.
Ian Olney of previously of Aston Villa, born in Luton.
UK Decay far from being “the worse punk band of all time” are actually highly revered, as pioneers of post-punk and the originators of Goth. Abbo also currently manages Mercury Rev and, er, Aled Jones. He was at the match yesterday.
Colin Salmon, of course, is now starring in Eastenders.

Not that daft!
I was a wizard on the redgras behind Cedars Upper School in Leighton Buzzard back in the day though that was about the limit of my football prowess. And I did copycat Marco van Basten’s goal in Munich down there one late spring evening back in 1989 but that was about as good as it got.
