Luton Town travel to Lincoln City this weekend, looking for a first Football League victory at the LNER Stadium, or Sincil Bank, since February 26, 2002.
On that day, Matt Taylor netted a speculative strike from 30 yards, which embarrassed Imps keeper Alan Marriott, on the Hatters’ way to promotion from what was then Division Three, the fourth tier of English football. To see who else featured for the Hatters over 20 years ago, see below.

One of his 40 outings for the Hatters in the campaign, as he made 15 starts, with a further 25 appearances from the bench, adding four goals as well, including scoring in successive games against Halifax and Swansea during late October. It was his pass that sent Taylor away to net the only goal of the game at Sincil Bank as well. Photo: Hatters Heritage
