FEATURE: A look back at Luton's record Football League unbeaten runs

It was the third time in the history they have achieved such a sequence, managing it twice before in the late 1960s.

Hatters first set the record in the 1967-68 Division Four season.

They began with a 1-1 draw at home to Newport on January 20, 1968, Keith Allen scoring.

That was followed by a goalless draw at Port Vale, before Allen again netted in a 1-1 draw at York City.

Bruce Rioch, Terry Branston, Allen, and Ian Buxton all scored in a 4-1 home win over Rochdale, while goals from Alan Slough and Rioch saw off Brentford 2-0 away.

Ray Whittaker notched twice, one from the spot, with Allen and Rioch on target as Lincoln were defeated 4-2 at Kenilworth, as Rioch, Allen and John Moore then scored to beat Darlington 3-1.

A 0-0 draw with Chesterfield followed, while Port Vale were beaten 2-0 thanks to Buxton and Rioch, before another stalemate at home to Exeter, Buxton then getting the only goal in a 1-0 win at Aldershot.

Darlington were beaten again 2-1, Rioch and John Green scoring, with Rioch getting two in the 3-1 win over Aldershot, Brown finding the net as well.

Graham French notched as Workington were defeated 1-0 away, scoring again in the 2-0 win over Notts County, Allen bagging the other.

A 0-0 draw with Chester followed, plus a 2-2 at Notts County, Allen and Buxton scoring.

Rioch was then on target in a 1-0 triumph at Halifax, before he netted two in the 4-0 win over Crewe, Moore and Slough also scoring.

The run finally came to an end three months later on April 27, as Whittaker converted a penalty, during a 3-1 defeat at home to Bradford.

Luton repeated the feat during the following season, ending the 1968-69 campaign with a 0-0 draw against Southport on April 8. 1969, before Brighton were dispatched 3-0 at home, Brian Lewis, French and Slough scoring.

Town then began the 1969-70 season with a 1-1 draw against Southport, Lewis netting, while Moore and Rioch bagged both in the 2-0 triumph at Tranmere.

Lewis grabbed a treble as Stockport were hammered 4-1, Rioch also scoring, while Buxton and Allen ensured fierce rivals Watford were beaten 2-1.

Allen, John Collins and Mike Keen all scored in a 3-0 victory over Barrow, with Malcolm Macdonald then coming to the fore, scoring in a 1-0 win at Bournemouth.

He had another as Orient were beaten 3-2, Collins and French netting too.

Macdonald continued his scoring spree in the 1-1 home with Halifax, then converting a penalty with an own goal following to see off Gillingham 2-0.

He had another in the 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers, Allen, Collins and Matt Tees also finding the net, while his personal run was broken when Allen got the only goal in 1-1 draw at Bradford.

Macdonald was back on the scoresheet with French and Chris Nicholl as Southport were beaten 3-0, while a 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury was next, Collins and Slough notching.

Tees bagged two, with French netting as Luton won 3-1 at Plymouth, the same scoreline following at Walsall, two more for Tees, Collins with the other.

Macdonald converted a spotkick as Stockport were beaten 2-0, Nicholl also netting, while a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth followed.

They eventually came unstuck on April 8, 1969, going down 2-0 at Doncaster Rovers

Scorers: Macdonald 7; Tees 5; Collins 5; Lewis 5; Allen 4; French 3; Nicholl 2; Slough 2; Rioch 2; Moore; Buxton; Keen; OG.

Fast forward almost 40 years and Luton have now done it again, although this time with 15 wins and four draws.
