Mick Cullen
Michael Joseph Cullen Date of Birth: Jul 3, 1931 Share "Mick Cullen" on FacebookScout and ex- Town player Doug Gardiner recommended 17 year old Glaswegian Mike to the Hatters as a centre-forward but manager Dally Duncan soon moved him out to the wing.
A handful for any defender with a unique shuffle Mike starred for the Town as they won promotion to Division One in 1955 and won a Scottish cap, the only Luton player to ever do so, the following season even though he was in the reserves at the time!
Surprisingly transferred to Grimsby in 1958, Mike went on to become virtually ever present over four years at Blundell Park before finishing his league career at Derby.
Mike remains in Luton after working at Vauxhall and the railway station car park.
