Spurs v Luton Town Tickets & Hospitality

Spurs v Luton Town Previous Fixture

Luton Town 0 – 0 Spurs (11^th March 1992).

Spurs have never played Luton Town since in the history of the Premier League. So, the last time that these two clubs met in the top flight was over 30 years ago in March 1992, when the Hatters and the Lilywhites played out a 0-0 draw at Kenilworth Road.

This was the second of two matches played between these two teams in the final season of the old first division (1991/92).

Spurs 4 – 1 Luton Town (16^th November 1991).

Tottenham Hotspur and Luton Town did come face to face at White Hart Lane on 16^th November 1991, where Spurs were emphatic 4-1 winners on the day.

It was Luton legend Mick Harford who opened the scoring in the match late on in the first half when he found the net from close range after a defensive mistake from the home side (43’). The two clubs went into the half-time interval with the away side a goal to the good.

In the second half, it did take some time for Spurs to find their equaliser. Parity was restored when Scott Houghton found the back of the Luton net for the second time of asking after his initial effort on goal was saved well by Hatters goalkeeper Alec Chamberlain (68’).

Luton Town barely had any time to settle following this equalising goal when Gary Lineker scored his first goal of the afternoon after finding the back of the net at the near post to give goalkeeper Chamberlain no chance (70’).

Tottenham’s third goal of the afternoon came only five minutes later, and it was Houghton who found the back of the net once again. This time, he scored from a very long range, finding the bottom right corner of the net (75’).

Lineker then rounded off what was an impressive victory for Peter Shreeves’ team with a close-range finish after Alec Chamberlain spilled the ball following his initial save (83’).

The final whistle went to the delight of the watching Spurs fans as it was a convincing 4-1 win for Tottenham Hotspur.

Goal scorer Houghton does of course, have a history with Spurs, playing for the club between 1990 and 1993; he did also play for Luton Town. He joined the Hatters in 1993 before eventually moving on to Walsall in 1994.

Paul Walsh is another player to have represented both Spurs and Luton Town. Walsh joined the Hatters from Charlton Athletic in 1982, staying at the club before choosing to sign for Liverpool in 1984. Fast forward to 1988, and Walsh had just signed for Tottenham. He left the North London club following more than a century of appearances for the Lilywhites, going on to sign for Portsmouth in 1992.

By the conclusion of the 1991/92 First Division season, Spurs finished in 15^th place with 52 points, whereas Luton Town were relegated alongside Notts County and West Ham United.

Tottenham Hotspur and Luton Town met for the first time in a 2-2 FA Cup draw at Northumberland Park on 15^th December 1894. Overall, the two clubs have met 80 times, with Spurs having the superior record with 33 wins compared to Luton Town’s 22. There have been 25 draws between these two teams over the years.
