Luton – One Game One Great Memory

While doing some research yesterday, I stumbled upon a video clip that brought back some wonderful memories.

The clip came from the 1974 / 1975 season, Luton’s first back in top-flight football since the 1959 / 1960 season.

I was in my teenage years and that season was the first I had a season ticket for after saving up my wages from my evening paper-round.

I have some wonderful memories from that season which I am hoping to share in the coming months.

But the article today concentrates on a fixture that took place on 12-April-1975 when Leicester City were the visitors to Kenilworth Road.

The previous season I can remember Leicester City came to our neck of the woods for a fixture, I believe it was a cup tie, and Luton were routed.

But this fixture was different, Luton produced one of their best displays of the season and ran out worthy 3-0 winners.

However, my abiding memory from the game relates to the ‘best’ own goal I have ever seen scored, courtesy of the Leicester City player, Keith Weller.

It can be viewed in the brief coverage of the game in the video clip below:

Have you ever seen a better, or should that be more embarrassing, own goal?
