In a seven-goal thriller, the Town find themselves a goal down early on but the game hinges on two penalties. Lewis runs straight at a defender and falls over. Justice is done when Drewery saves the spot-kick but Lewis scores from the rebound. He then nets the second after a Noble handball.

FEATURED MATCH

hatters' heritage SPOTLIGHT

Born in St Albans in 1878, Albie was a tough, uncompromising
full-back who, after turning out for his home city club, had a couple of
seasons at Watford where he held the dubious distinction of being sent
off twice at a time when dismissals were extremely rare.
Signing for Luton in the summer of 1901, Albie was on his best behaviour and made the left-back position his own as a ‘fearless and dashing player’.
Sadly, Albie was badly injured during a home match with QPR in October 1902, forcing him to retire from the game.

Only a month after signing from Scottish junior club St Anthony,
David was thrust into the Luton first team and scored on his debut, a
last minute effort in a League Cup tie at Liverpool in October 1960, the
club’s first ever goal in the competition.
A clever inside-forward, David kept his place in the League side for
four consecutive games before the heavy pitches began to tell and he
returned to the reserves.
It was while playing for the Town’s reserves that he badly fractured a leg which failed to heal properly and he reluctantly had to give up the game.
After receiving a testimonial in 1962, David returned to his native Glasgow
