Luton Town – The ‘N’ And ‘O’ XI Revisited

Continuing to revisit a series Vital Luton Town ran some four years ago, we now find ourselves looking at the letters N and O.

Four years ago, in the midst of the COVID-19 storm, we published the following article – the-luton-town-n-and-o-xi.

As had become the norm, both Chris Winter and Tony Byfield had mailed me the starting XI’s they had chosen for the letters N and O.

First up, Chris chose the following XI:

– Mark Ovendale
– Alan Nielson
– Chris Nicholl
– Steven O’Donnell
– Stacey North
– Peter Nicholas
– Kevin Nicholls
– Eunan O’Kane
– John O’Rourke
– David Oldfield
– Mike Newell

While Tony provided a slightly different perspective on the subject matter

– Mark Ovendale
– Kevin Nicholls
– Sid Owen
– Chris Nicholl
– Alan Nielson
– Scott Oakes
– Peter Nicholas
– Kurt Nogan
– Emeka Nwajobi
– John O’Rourke
– Mike Newell

As for my XI it looked as thus:

– Mark Ovendale
– Stephen O’Donnell
– Chris Nicholl
– Stacey North
– Alan Nielson
– Peter Nicholas
– Scott Oakes
– Kevin Nicholls
– Syed Owen
– Mike Newell
– David Oldfield

Since the original article was published, the following players have joined the club who fulfill the selection criteria:

• Gabriel Osho
• Marvelous Nakamba
• Fred Onyedimna
• Chiedozie Ogbene

Therefore, taking time to decide upon an ultimate starting XI I have come up with the following XI:

• Mark Ovendale

• Chris Nicholl
• Gabriel Osho
• Stacey North

• Marvelous Nakamba
• Kevin Nicholls
• Syd Owen
• Peter Nicholas
• Chiedozie Ogbene

• Mike Newell
• Scott Oakes

Is it an XI you concur with or would you beg to differ?
