From the publisher:
These are the good old days tells the story of Luton's rise from the Conference to the Premier League. Still at Kenilworth Road. Still with Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu. A ludicrous end to the greatest story in English football history.
For Luton fan Kevin Crowe, watching his football club seemingly disappear before his eyes was profoundly desperate. Having finally been rescued from the white, white teeth of modern football’s asset stripping, soul selling pseudo spivs and being unceremoniously relegated from League football for their trouble, Luton Town Football Club was still going. Kevin was still going. Going more than ever. Thousands were. The renaissance of Luton coincided with the acceleration of the football business away from matchday culture, just as England was becoming the key battleground in the Culture Wars. The EDL. Brexit. The town was presented as a cartoon strip of UK decay.
The second edition, published in 2023 now includes new pieces covering Luton Town’s historic promotion to the English Premier League.
Price includes £5 donation to Luton Foodbank per copy.
