The Hatters struggle against lowly opposition and the visitors fight back to nearly win a point at the death. Slough is fouled in the area with only five minutes to go but Allen blasts the penalty-kick over the bar. 17 year-old John Phillips in the Shrews goal shows bravery and anticipation far beyond his years.
