John Faulkner
John Gilbert Faulkner Date of Birth: Mar 10, 1948 Share "John Faulkner" on Facebook‘Maxie’, to all at Kenilworth Road decided to qualify as a Quantity Surveyor and play non-League for Sutton United rather than join Charlton.
A commanding performance at centre-half against Leeds in the F.A.Cup saw him succumb to temptation and join the professional ranks at Elland Road but in only his second start he broke a kneecap.
With Luton Town selling Chris Nicholl a vacancy arose at Kenilworth Road in March 1972 and John accepted the offer with both hands and with it over 200 League appearances, a promotion to Division One and cult status amongst the Hatters fans.
A spell in the USA followed before he returned to Luton as youth team coach and then first team coach under Jim Ryan. After Ryan’s departure, John went to Norwich under Mike Walker and later scouted for, amongst others, ex-Town star Danny Wilson.
John sadly passed away in December 2017.
