[Brixton Hatter]

Graham French: Luton Town 1965-1973, legendary drinker and user of the pubs around Luton. Often played clearly hungover. In 1970 someone pissed him off so he went down to this guy's local pub and shot him. He spent three years inside!

Joe Payne, scorer of 10 goals in the 12-0 demolition of Bristol Rovers in 1936, still a league record. JTG

At least he had a tale he could tell the grandchildren. Or even random Gasheads standing around outside the away turnstiles at Kenilworth Road

Think that was in 1996ish. Same night I spent ages talking to a Luton steward slagging off our new home kit (Tesco carrier bag) and Luton's away kit (Watford-a-like yellow).

Christ my memory dredges up some useless shite at times
