Luton Town F.C. season 1974–75
Encyclopedia
The 1974–75 season was the 89th season in the history of Luton Town Football Club
. It was Luton Town's 55th consecutive season in the Football League
, and their 58th overall. It was also the team's first season in the First Division
since 1959–60, and their sixth overall. The season saw Luton narrowly relegated
back to Division Two
.
This article covers the period from 1 July 1974 to 30 June 1975.
from the Fourth Division
in 1966–67, Luton consolidated under first Allan Brown, then Alec Stock
before rising another division following a successful 1969–70 campaign in which Malcolm Macdonald
scored 28 goals. Macdonald scored 31 during 1970–71 as Luton finished sixth in the Second Division
, and was sold to Newcastle United
at the end of the season to ease the club's financial worries. Harry Haslam replaced Stock in 1972, and along with him came the ambition to return to Division One
after a 12-year absence. Luton fans would have to wait two more years for Haslam to deliver the third promotion; in 1973–74 the team finished second in Division Two behind Middlesbrough
, and ensured that for 1974–75 Luton would be a top division club once again.
, Luton began the campaign badly. The first victory came in the League Cup
, as Luton beat Bristol Rovers
on 11 September; in the league, a series of losses and draws prevailed. On the 28th, Luton finally won a league match, beating Carlisle United
3–1. This win lifted Luton out of the relegation places, and up to 17th in the division.
, Luton suddenly won three successive matches and reduced the gap to five points.
meant that Luton came off the foot of the table, but it was followed by defeat in the FA Cup
to Birmingham City
. A disappointing home loss at the hands of Burnley
sent Luton straight back to the bottom of the league, and put them six points behind 19th placed Chelsea. A draw at Sheffield United
, followed by a victory over Newcastle United
and another draw with Stoke City
, saw Luton come within four points of survival. A 3–1 defeat at Everton
on 25 February resulted in no further ground being made up.
Two more straight defeats followed, and the gap remained four points. Luton then won three matches on the trot, against Carlisle, Leeds
and Arsenal
, to be only two points behind Chelsea. The team were brought back down to earth sharply towards the end of March by a 5–0 annihilation at Derby County and a 5–2 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers
– these put Luton back down to 21st, though still only three points behind Leicester City
in 19th.
on 5 April sent Luton back to the bottom of the league and increased the gap to five points with only eight left to gain from Luton's final four matches. Luton managed a 2–1 home win over Everton, before beating Leicester 3–0 to be only one point away. A 4–1 victory at Birmingham put Luton level on points with Tottenham, with the North London team ahead on goal average. Manchester City
would visit Luton on 26 April for their final match, while Tottenham would have to travel to Highbury
to face their rivals Arsenal before entertaining Leeds United two days later. Luton could only draw with Manchester City, while Tottenham were defeated 1–0 at Arsenal; Luton therefore rose out of the relegation zone for the first time since October. However, Tottenham beat Leeds 4–2 on the 28th, and therefore leapfrogged Luton into 19th place. Thus, Luton were sentenced to Division Two
football in 1975–76.
