Luton head to Burnley this weekend looking for their first victory at Turf Moor since March 7, 2000, a run spanning almost 23 years.
Back then, the Hatters won a Division Two clash 2-0, defender Alan White putting the visitors ahead on 26 minutes and Phil Gray making it 2-0 early in the second period, defeating a home side containing former Arsenal striker Ian Wright.

Keeper had only just signed on loan from Middlesbrough and was playing his third game for the club. A first clean sheet followed at Turf Moor, one of just two he managed in his 14 appearances. Made an important save from Ian Wright when the forward race on to a poor backpass. Photo: Hatters Heritage
. Emmerson Boyce
After missing most of the first few months of the season, he returned in November and went on to be a mainstay of the Town side, making 30 appearances in total, scoring once, that in a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth. Photo: Harry How
. Marvin Johnson
One of Luton’s leading players in the season as he started 44 games out of 46 for the Hatters and made two vital blocks to prevent the Clarets from equalising. Turned out to be the last campaign the popular defender had fully clear of injury at Kenilworth Road, as he only played sporadically afterwards before hanging up his boots. Photo: Shaun Botterill
. Gary Doherty
Played in defence as Town ended a run of four straight defeats with the 2-0 victory against the Clarets. Moved upfront in the latter stages of the season, scoring five goals in five successive matches, alerting the attention of Premier League Spurs who he joined in the summer. Photo: Graham Chadwick
. Julian Watts
Luton’s most used player in the season as he started 45 league matches, absent for just one, that the 2-0 home defeat against Millwall which immediately followed Hatters’ success in Lancashire. Another to get in the way of a blast from Ian Wright as the former Arsenal attacker drew a blank. Photo: Hatters Heritage
. Alan White
Defender put Luton on their way to victory by drilling home his first of the campaign in style with 26 minutes of the fixture gone. After starting the first game of the season, he regained his place properly in February, going on to feature in 11 of the final 12 matches. Photo: Hatters Heritage

7. Matthew Spring
Like Watts, he featured in 45 of the 46 games for Luton as they finished 13th in the old Division Two, missing the 3-1 victory over Reading. Might have made it 3-1 on the day, only to be denied by Clarets keeper Paul Crichton late on. Photo: Jamie McDonald
8. Adam Locke
Signed from Bristol City in the summer, he went on to be a dependable member of the squad, featuring 34 times and finding the net on three occasions, including Town’s goal in a 1-1 draw with Chesterfield. Photo: Hatters Heritage
