ron baynham's england caps
By Roger Wash
Registered Charity, Hatters’ Heritage was recently alerted to an
auction where the three England caps won by former Town goalkeeper Ron
Baynham, now the oldest surviving England international, were to be sold
by a collector.
Due to last-minute and generous donations made to Hatters’ Heritage
by Luton Town FC directors Stephen Browne and Rob Stringer, successful
bids were able to be made and the caps will now be displayed at
Kenilworth Road and eventually in the proposed museum at Power Court.
That way they can be enjoyed by future generations of Hatters fans.
The first port of call after picking up the caps was to visit 92 year
old Ron so he could see them again – he was beyond delighted. Photos
of Ron with the caps were taken and a short video was recorded.
