Bob Hatton

Bob Robert Hatton Date of Birth: Apr 10, 1947

‘Have boots will travel’ seemed to be the motto of Bob who never seemed to hang about very long at most of his nine League clubs but such was his prowess in front of goal that there was never any shortage of takers no matter how brief his stay was likely to be.

Bob was just the sort of experienced player that rookie Luton manager David Pleat needed in the summer of 1978 and although the wily striker stayed only the statutory two seasons he took the young Brian Stein under his wing along the way and becoming a crowd favourite at Kenilworth Road.

After leaving the game, Bob worked in insurance and for the PFA as a financial adviser before retiring at 55. Bob now dabbles in property.
