LUTON TOWN FC Facts
Compiled by Paul Rance

• As well as producing The Beatles, George Martin managed Luton twice.
Luton Town were top of the old Second Division when World War Two broke out in 1939.
• Frank Whitby was Luton's first professional (in 1890), and, as Luton Town were the first professional footie club in the South of England, the first pro in the South.
Luton Town have had many hard times, but the club's biggest tragedy was posssibly when full back Sammy Wightman died as a result of a kick to the stomach in a game against Brighton & Hove Albion, in 1911-12. In a season of unending misery, the club were relegated to the Southern League's Second Division.
• George (also known as Frederick) Ekins scored Luton Town's first goal in League football. Ekins scored in the 1-1 draw in a Second Division game away to Leicester Fosse (now Leicester City) in the 1897-98 season (I remember it as a worthy effort to kick off our Football League career). This was the first occurrence of a crowd chanting: "There's only one... George or Frederick Ekins."
