Luton go up against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Kenilworth Road this weekend looking for a first top flight victory over their opponents on home soil in 40 years.
The Hatters ran out 4-0 winners in a Division One contest back on September 17, 1983, as Paul Walsh opened the scoring in the first half, before Brian Stein, David Moss and Brian Horton found the net in the second period.
Here’s a look at the Town side that lined up under manager David Pleat on that day.
5. Paul Elliott
Solid season for Luton as he made 38 starts, adding two goals to the tally, including the winner in a 1-0 success at QPR as well. A knee injury saw the Hatters sign another centre back in Steve Foster and when he returned to fitness, Elliott was sold to Aston Villa the following year in a £400,000 deal. Photo: Hatters Heritage
6. Mal Donaghy
Churned out yet another 40 Division One appearances for the Hatters that season, as the long-serving defender did so for nine successive campaigns. Bagged one goal too in the 2-1 defeat at Southampton, as he eventually moved on in the summer of 1988 to join Manchester United. Photo: Hatters Heritage
7. Ricky Hill
A big player in the first three quarters of the season, playing 26 games and scoring two goals, both strikes having come in the first three games of the campaign. Injured for the latter stages of the campaign, but was back to play a full part against the following year. Photo: Hatters Heritage
8. Brian Stein
Made it 2-0 just six minutes after the interval to double Luton's lead at Kenilworth Road with what was his second strike of the season. The second player to start all 42 matches for the Hatters as he added nine goals in that time, with an identical return the following year too. Photo: Hatters Heritage
