Luton kick off their Premier League campaign this weekend when they head to Brighton & Albion.
With football starting before the introduction of Sky then despite what some might think, it isn’t the first time the Hatters have been in the top flight before.
The Luton News look at how Town’s other 16 opening day matches at this level have gone in a special gallery below.

13. Aug 27, 1988: Sheffield Wednesday 1 Luton Town 0
Town travelled up to Hillsborough for the first game and made a losing start against a dominant Owls team. Mel Sterland netted the only goal with a near post header following Siggy Jonsson's cross, but then saw his penalty saved by Les Sealey. Photo: Hatters Heritage

14. Aug 19, 1989: Spurs 2 Luton Town 1
Luton were playing in front of a restricted crowd at White Hart Lane due to the ground being redeveloped, as they went behind to Paul Stewart’s header from Paul Gascoigne’s free kick. Roy Wegerle netted a superb volley to make it 1-1, but Paul Allen won it late on for Spurs. Photo: Hatters Heritage

15. Aug 25, 1990: Luton Town 1 Crystal Palace 1
Luton’s youthful-looking side were behind when Eric Young headed the hosts into the lead after meeting Glyn Hodges’ free kick. Striker Iain Dowie drew Town level and future England international Nigel Martyn was the busier of the two keepers after the break. Photo: Hatters Heritage

16. Aug 17, 1991: West Ham United 0 Luton Town 0
Up against the newly-promoted Hammers, Luton couldn’t find a way through in what was to be their last top flight opener for over 30 years. Brian Stein made his second debut for the club after three years in France but the deadlock wasn’t to be broken. Photo: Shaun Botterill
