Luton Town midfielder Jake Richards opened his account for the club during their 3-0 victory at Stockport County on Saturday.
Aged 18 years and 92 days, he became the joint seventh youngest player to find the net for the Hatters, level with Ron Futcher who had done so back in 1974. The Luton News, with help from Hatters Heritage, have compiled the 25 youngest scorers in the club’s history and to find out who they are, see below.
