Robin Chandler

Robin Anthony Sydney Chandler Date of Birth: Dec 19, 1942

An old boy of Dunstable Road school, Robin was destined for greatness after appearing for England schoolboys but it was not until December 1961 that the Hatters managed to get his signature, albeit as a part-time professional.

By this time Robin had appeared in the Luton first team and after starring in an F.A.Cup trilogy against Ipswich in 1962 it seemed that the Town had secured a goalscoring centre-forward for years to come.

Inexplicably it all went wrong at Kenilworth Road and Robin left Luton for Stevenage in 1965 having made only 13 league appearances in five years.

Robin made up for lost time by becoming a prolific scorer in non-league circles, particularly for Romford in the 1970’s, before coaching Baldock Town. He still lives in the area.
