Luton Town: The Non-League Years

Rob Hadgraft

Regular price £18.99

Tax included.

From the publisher:

LUTON TOWN, a top-flight club throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, suffered a catastrophic slide out of the Football League, helped on their way by stringent and controversial penalties imposed by the football authorities. After eighty-nine years among the elite, this well supported club found itself, in 2009, competing alongside part-timers in non-League circles. It was the start of five years of hell for the Hatters and their huge, loyal fanbase. Despite being a massive fish in a tiny pool, their passage back to the League took longer and was more painful than anyone ever expected. Life-long supporter and author Rob Hadgraft relives the remarkable ups and downs in this month-by-month tale of Luton Town’s journey from the edge of the abyss back to the promised land.

The author:

Born in Luton in 1955, Rob Hadgraft spent around twenty years in regional newspapers as reporter, sub-editor and sports editor. After spells working in Portugal and London, he turned freelance in 2000 to research and write about sporting history and has since published sixteen football-related books and a series of seven acclaimed biographies of famous runners of yesteryear. Three of these made the short-lists of the annual William Hill Sportsbook of the Year award. Rob has been a Luton Town season-ticket holder for more than thirty years and as a club runner has competed in nearly 1,200 races.
