Lifetime Senior Members – Roll of Honour

Ron Hedley

"I am from Kempston and my first Luton Town match was on 27th September 1958. A Division One victory over Preston North End, 4 - 1.

"I have been a season ticket holder since 1974.

"We now live in Tylers Green, Buckinghamshire.

My daughter has been a supporter since ...

Andy Johnson

"I have been a Hatters fan since 1969. I went to all games with my Dad. Always in the Bobbers. If we were playing away then we’d go and watch the reserves.

"I was Mascot against Portsmouth in 1972 (2-2) It was a night game and leading the team out of the tunnel into the lights was an amazing experience. Scoring during the Kick about to the cheers of ..."

Andrew Jordan

"The reason why I support Luton Town is due to the financial support needed for Premier League membership/participation. My understanding is that there are stadium criteria and the like that have to be met. Plus, as a foreign supporter from America, I like promotion/relegation. We don’t have that here and I hope LT is in the PL next year."

John Kelly

"I have been a supporter of Luton Town since 1967 and it has been a real roller coaster! Also been a season ticket holder for all but three of those years (At University). Myself and my two sons attend all Home matches and many away matches. COYH!!"

Tony Kelly

"Living in Oak Road in the mid 1960’s my earliest memories were of sneaking under the turnstiles and into the ground, too many memories to single any one out, not all of them good! But that comes with the territory of being a Luton Town supporter."

Ruth Lees

"I’ve been supporting Luton Town since before I can remember.  All the usual reasons.   My first match was against Notts County in 1973 ( I think?)  I know John Aston was playing and it was the era of white shirts and black shorts.  I now live in the North West but still have a season ticket and get to nearly all home and away games.  Must be crazy.  So many happy memories..."

Stephen Lindsay

"I am Stephen Lindsay, I have been a supporter for over 45 years. It’s been wonderful time, with great experiences, and many friends."

Julian Lucas

"Born a few hundred yards from the ground I started going to games with my dad in the mid 60s. I remember being lifted over the turnstiles in the early days. I have been an avid follower of the Hatters in five levels of English football visiting stadia of all sizes from Princes Park in Dartford to Wembley.

"Back in the day I especially enjoyed watching ...

Dr Julian Marsden

I was a GP in Luton for 35 years, now retired. I now live in Luton and have followed the Hatters ever since I moved to the area and have been a season ticket holder for some years. My favourite memories are the 1988 League Cup Final win against Arsenal and beating Coventry City at Wembley in 2023 to gain promotion to the Premiership.

Ian Matthews

"My first game was in 1968 when my Dad took me as our neighbour Alan Starling was making his debut for the Town. We stood near the Tunnel."

"Matches I went to that live with me, the friendly against Manchester United European Cup Winners 1968,  my first away game"

Marion Maxwell

"I've been following Luton since the late 1960s; attending most home games until I moved away in 1980. I've continued to watch the various ups and downs seeing the occasional match when possible. Along with my two brothers (who are season ticket holders) and other family it was a privilege to be at Wembley for the championship play off final. This has to be the best moment. "

David McCallum

"I grew up in Luton and lived next to the airport for 25 years before moving away. I remember watching Luton on Match of the Day with my dad from a very young age and started attending regularly in the 72/73 season. I know everyone talks about the brilliant 2023 Championship playoff match but the most enjoyable moment for me was the Littlewoods Cup final in 1988..."

Vincent Mitchell

"I have supported LTFC since the early seventies and have to say I have been through the highs and lows of this wonderful family club."

"In all those years of watching the wonderful football that was played my favourite player has to be John Aston. My memorable"..."

Tony Murray

"I have been a supporter since my early childhood, being taken to games by my Granddad and Uncle.

"I can remember watching Bruce Rioch, Alan Slough, and ..."

Stephen Osborne

"I started going to Luton in the 69/70 season. Me and my dad have been going together ever since. My favourite home game was the 3-0 win over Liverpool in the 2nd replay 1987 FA Cup. My favourite away, and all time game, was Man City away, with David Pleat dancing across the pitch. I've stood or sat in all stands except the Bobbers and remember cold wet nights... "

Matt Phillips

"When I was a small boy I could hear the roar of Kenilworth Road from my bedroom, and after my first match in 1967 ( Exeter) I was hooked. One of my favourite memories was a 3 goal comeback at home to Carlisle, but there have been so many highs and lows - from the penalty shootout last year, to the last league game (for a while) at Brentford. However ..."

Pierre Quinquenel

"My reason for supporting Luton goes back to the late 1960’s when I saw them on the Big Match and liked their name – this must be most unlikely reason behind what is now a 50 year plus association! While I go to see them whenever time and opportunities permit, it rarely stretches to more than a game or two a season and ashamedly..."

Ian Robertson

"I have been a Luton Town supporter since 1966 being just 5 years old when attended my first game. I have seen all the highs and all the lows of our beloved team...from the top tier to non-league and back again.

"Although I'm now living in York I am still a season ticket holder and travel to every home game and most away games. ..."

Richard Robinson

"I have been watching Luton Town since 1955, seeing as many games as I could and keeping a close watch on results through all the club’s many ups and downs!. Despite moving to Berkshire for work involving extensive overseas travelling, I still managed to get to many games each year. On retirement, in 2002, I bought a season ticket and made the six-hour return journey ...

Peter Rollings

"My first game was 60 years ago on 23rd November 1963, a 4-4 draw against QPR and I was hooked. We were in the old 3rd division going down at the time and I never dreamt that I would see the Town play 6 times at Wembley and at Anfield , Old Trafford, Highbury, etc and now we get to do it all again!!"
