Moss returns after a two-month injury absence and, with loan signing Alan Birchenall, helps the Town to an emphatic win. The Town sweep to victory with early goals from Hatton and Stein, with only a Peter Noble penalty, awarded after Birchenall fouls Paul Fletcher, spoiling the day.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT

Born in Greets Green, West Bromwich in 1908, Fred played local
football before being spotted by Birmingham who signed him in 1933 and
gave him a number of starts in 1933-34.
He was used sparingly the following campaign and was recommended to
the Town who signed him in December 1934 and immediately put him in the
first team.
Described as a ‘scheming inside-forward’ he certainly improved the
team no-end and for five seasons was probably the first name on the
teamsheet. Strikers, notably Joe Payne, thrived off the service he
provided and he was capable of weighing in with his fair share of goals
also.

Strong tackling midfielder Kevin began his career as a trainee at
Charlton and skippered the England youth teams After 12 League appearances for the Addicks and a loan
spell at Brighton a £250,000 move to big spending Wigan in 1999 was not
a success but a transfer to Luton two years later proved more to his
liking with his enthusiasm and leadership soon making him a firm
favourite at Kenilworth Road.
After overseeing two promotions for the Town it came as a disappointment when he moved to Leeds for £700,000 in 2006 but after a spell at Preston he returned to Kenilworth Road to skipper the Hatters to the Johnstones’ Paint Trophy win over Scunthorpe.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
The Heritage Lottery Fund enabled us to launch the website which we believe is the most comprehensive of any club in the country.
Whilst we benefit from the unpaid work of volunteers, we need funds to pay for hosting and maintaining the website, insurance of the memorabilia collection and various licenses such as Adobe. We also need to build up a fund to purchase important memorabilia.
