Luton Town Football Club are an English football team based in the town of Luton in Bedfordshire. They are nicknamed The Hatters due to the historical association of the town with the hat making trade. The club competes in the League 1 division in the 2007-08 season, following their relegation from Football League Championship just two seasons after winning promotion. The current manager is Kevin Blackwell and his captain is Australian defender Chris Coyne.
The club is fondly remembered by many for David Pleat's infamous running across the Maine Road pitch in May 1983, following Luton's successful trump over relegation. They won their first piece of major silverware in 1988, when they won the League Cup, under the management of Ray Harford.
Luton are a team known for signing youth and locals as they like to keep to the traditions of the town.
Luton are one of a relatively small number of teams to have played in all four divisions of the Football League. Rarer still is the fact that Luton have achieved this twice, and are only two promotions away from doing it a third time. Their most recent spell as a top division club was from 1982 to 1992. They then fell through the leagues and were relegated to the basement division again in 2001.
Luton have long been considering a move away from their old and historic Kenilworth Road ground. Currently, the board of directors are looking to move the club to near the tip on Junction 12 of the M1 motorway next year.
