Brave Luton Town transfer call landed Hatters “godsend” £600k payment and more
Luton Town have enjoyed a fantastic rise through the leagues over the last decade.
The late 2000s saw Luton Town suffer an unimaginable three consecutive relegations, meaning they had fallen from the Championship straight down to non-league. The club was in turmoil and found themselves playing their football in the Conference for the first time in their history.
Luton were putting up good performances in the Conference but it did take them a little while to fight their way back out of the division.
Eventually, the 2013/14 campaign saw the Hatters finish as champions on a whopping 101 points, having won 30 of their 46 league games.
Their rise that followed has been well documented, as within nine years, the club had made it from non-league to the Premier League – a real fairytale story.
Despite reaching the bright lights of the top flight and growing immensely as a club, Luton Town fans will look back on their non-league days with pride as they created some wonderful moments and had some memorable players on their books.
Andre Gray, in particular, is one player from their non-league days that they will look back on fondly, as his goalscoring record was simply sublime.
