Don’t call it a fairy tale.

Don’t call it a fairy tale. This is a grown-up story for the weather-worn Gurney-sceptic Kohler-Outers, the Milton Keynes-Never Pinkney-phobes and Tomlins-doubters. But every story needs an ending.

Luton Watford: One nil in the Legacy Derby

Have that, you vegetable waving, statue-boarding frauds. You penalty spot scuffing modern football mercenaries. To Luton Town, the legacy club in the legacy ground with the legacy players, the spoils.

OUT OF STOCK: These Are the Good Old Days by Kevin Crowe (Paperback, £20.20)

Relive the last ludicrous decade of Luton Town with every piece from this blog in a lovely little book - and support a really important local cause at the hardest time of year.


These Are the Good Old Days charts our journey from the glamour of Gloucester City in the Trophy to Watford (a) the other day, and is dripping with Skrill and Stilly and Pelly and Wembley and various other things that came into my head and occasionally into the match day programme over the years.

2020 is the consortium that saved the club, and the year Luton were aiming to be back in the Championship, so they're £20.20 - with all proceeds donated to Luton Foodbank.

So grab your own little piece of Lutopia for posterity. And if you can't afford the donation at the moment for whatever reason and still want a copy, email me and let me know.

UPDATE: These are no longer available. Thank you to everyone who supported us in raising a brilliant, and totally unexpected, £5.2k for Luton Foodbank during the pandemic. They still need your support, so to donate go here: Support Luton Foodbank

Tattered, torn, reborn: Watford in the league

Don’t let the cloud of the apocalypse fool you, mate. Even though there’s no one in the ground to hear it, on Saturday a great big fucking tree will fall in the allotments. And it will make a sound.

Fuck perpetual progress and fuck fanfare, I got my Luton back.
