The Hatters headed to the Baseball Ground to face the Rams, needing a win to stay up, with fellow relegation candidates Sheffield Wednesday having to lose at home to Nottingham Forest. Tim Breacker's stunning strike and a Kingsley Black double ensured Luton did their bit, while the Owls went down 3-0, as they dropped out of the league on goal difference. Below, the Luton News has a special look at who lined up for Town that day.
1. Alec Chamberlain
Keeper played all 38 games that term, as he kept eight clean sheets in total, including two in the build up to the game, during home wins over Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
2. Tim Breacker
Full back set Town on their way by netting an absolute stunner, hammering past Peter Shilton and into the top corner from fully 30 yards in what was only his third ever goal for the Hatters.
3. Darren McDonough
Played 15 games that season, but missed a large chunk of the campaign as he didnt feature between November and March, returning for the final seven matches, as he won the ball back for Town's second goal.
4. Dave Beaumont
After starting the first 13 games, the defender also didnt play for a big part of the season, eventually coming in during Chelsea defeat in April. Began the final three matches, Luton winning every single one.
