Rodney Green

A prolific scorer wherever he went, Rodney first caught the eye with Bradford City in 1963 which led to a £9,000 move to Gillingham a year later. After falling out with the management he was sold to Grimsby where he formed a productive partnership with future Hatter Matt Tees.

The pair were sold to Charlton for £23,000 but Rodney never settled and instead he jumped at the chance to join Allan Brown’s revolution at Kenilworth Road as the Hatters were about to embark on a memorable 1967/68 campaign.

After scoring on his Luton debut, Rodney injured his knee and, by the time he returned, the forward line had a settled look and he became a peripheral player and moved on to Watford before ending his career in South Africa.

Rodney owned a business selling reproduction furniture near his home town of Halifax before passing away in 2018.
