    Luton Youth best team

    Posted by Poster from the pastUser icon on 29/7/2026, 19:32:02

    Couldn't think of any other keeper or 2nd forward so Isted and George get the nod.

    Not a bad team at all!

    goalkeeper Harry Isted
    left back JJ/Mitchell Thomas
    central defence Gary Doherty/Matthew Jackson
    central defence Matt Upson/Darren Salton/Leon Barnett
    right back Tim Breaker
    left mid Matt Taylor/Paul Telfer
    centre mid Ricky Hill /Mark Pembridge
    centre mid Bruce Rioch /Ceri Hughes
    right mid Kingsley Black
    forward John Hartson
    forward Liam George

        Rioch is there.

        Gordon Turner absolute shoe in, but does he count though? About a year in development with us before his first team debut?

          Signed as an apprentice, so he counts as a youth player.

                Didn't realise till much later that Julian James was a Watford fan, as was Sean Farrell. Didn't rate either. Leon Barnett is also not of the calibre of player on these lists.

                  Isted was okay but doesn’t deserve to be mentioned alongside Davis, he was a top keeper for us and thoughout his long career. Also I think Isted went through the Stoke youth system.

                    Probably have Boyce over Barnett.

                    I also would have thought we definitely would have had another home grown striker better than Liam George but I'm struggling to think of one?

                      Go for Doherty as another striker then. He certainly spent many minutes up there as an emergency forward and knew where the back of the net was.

                        Doherty 15 in 83
                        George 20 in 102

                        Pretty close call, Doherty obviously more versatile and better overall career

                            Doherty often started at cb..then pushed forward ..so his stats are good then..Liam George a bit lightweight

                              Whatever happened to sticking the centre half up front late on in a game?

                              Steve Davis and Doherty always seemed pretty decent at snatching late goals.

                              In the opposite way I also recall Steve Howard playing centre half against Sheff Utd and being MoTM.

                                I remember him playing centre half against Leicester. He was up against some gangly centre-forward.

                                They were both so slow that when they had a footrace it genuinely looked like it was in slow motion.

                                  Against Wednesday, not United.

                                  With the number of subs now, it's less likely that a centre half will be pushed up front.

                                    Team v United end of 2005/96 season - suggests you are both right -

                                    Luton: Beresford, Keane, Howard, Barnett, Edwards, Morgan (Nicholls 73), Holmes (Bell 62), Showunmi, Brkovic, Vine, Feeney.

                                      Just been reading the newspaper clippings on Hatters Heritage from the match and can't see any reference to Howard playing centre back or Warnock's quote about Howard and a cigar.

                                      Would have thought the Luton based papers may have mentioned it.

                                      Maybe I've just made it up

                                        BBC Sport I copied and pasted the team above from, suggest Howard was at centre-back due to the order they list the players in.

                                        Newell wouldn't normally have played Howard, Vine, Showumni and Feeeney in the same time

                                      I thought it was Utd, back end of 2005/6 season and have a memory of Warnock making a comment about him playing there as though he was holding a cigar?

                              Boyce over Barnett for RB, defo. That's not the choice, though.

                                Could have sworn Boyce also played centre back for us a fair few times.

                                Maybe I've got it mixed up because he ended up largely playing for Wigan there.

                                  He did. He also played RCB on occasion, especially early on, where he was decent. Best position was RB for my money. Which Barnett was absolutely not.

                                  Like some other, presumably handsome, chap I thought he was going to go on to be better than Curtis but sadly we went shit before that could happen.

                                  Yes good shout Boyce, decent cover for Breaker.

                                  Kurt Nogan and Sean Farrell both unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. Cauley Woodrow maybe?

                                    Fotiadis and Douglas too, but looking at their stats both pretty awful for goals scored.

                                    Kelvin Davis would get the nod over Isted surely?

                                    Curtis Davies should be in there.

                                      100% Kelvin over Isted, and 100% Curtis too! Some selection headaches building up!

                                          My brother would have been, but during a trial for the youth team he tripped over a clump of grass, and landed with his mouth on Bruce Rioch's boot. Blood injury, trial stopped.
