This Saturday, the Hatters welcome Middlesbrough to Kenilworth Road for a Championship fixture.
As is the norm, I have put together an XI of players who have represented both clubs.
Since I have been running this series, I have to say compiling this IXI has been the hardest I can recall.
In fact, in order to get a starting XI I had to change the formation of the side to 3-4-3 and also include two players, Colin Todd and Bruce Rioch, who played for Luton but who did not play for Middlesbrough but actually managed them.
However, my persistence paid off and I have put together the following XI
• Goalkeeper – Andy Dibble
• Defender – Martin Cranie
• Defender – Alex Baptiste
• Defender – Colin Todd
• Midfielder – Jacob Butterfield
• Midfielder – Tom Craddock
• Midfielder – Chris Kamara
• Midfielder – Bruce Rioch
• Striker – Phil Boersma
• Striker – John O’Rourke
• Striker – Dwight Marshall
• Substitute – George Stobbart
Now this is where you come in.
Can you think of anyone who can be added to the list below?
If you can I would be very grateful if you could enlighten me and drop them into the comment facility beneath this article.
No doubt I will kick myself if any names are put forward that I should have nominated.
