Pleat reveals how Luton missed out on Carsten Jancker, Stuart Pearce and Frank McAvennie
Former Town chief discusses his time in charge at Kenilworth Road
​​Former Luton boss David Pleat has revealed how the Hatters missed out on signing former German international striker Carsten Jancker during his time at the club.
The forward headed over to England in the early stages of his career to turn out for Town in a reserve game against Arsenal but thought better of the move, returning to his home country and signing for FC Koln. He went to join Rapid Wien on loan, where he won the Austrian Bundesliga and was also a UEFA Cup runner-up, then heading to German giants Bayern Munich for six years, winning the Bundesliga four times, the Champions League in 2001, plus the German Cup twice and League Cup four times as well.
