All Matches: https://hattersheritage.co.uk/matches?played-today=yes&sort=date Tony Thorpe was 'welcomed' back to Kenilworth Road in 2003 for the game against QPR. Steve Howard gave Luton the lead (though one for the goals panel as the last touch was off Gary McSheffrey). Luton looked on course for the win until Thorpe, who else, set up the equaliser for Paul Furlong in the 90th minute.
