Luton Town's Miracle: The Fairytale Rise from Non-League to Premier League
ISBN-13: 9781398123298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2026 / 176 str.
For five seasons from 2009-10 Luton Town FC were a non-League side. The club, which had known success for several periods in its history in the top division of English football, had been brought to this low point due to mismanagement and financial irregularities. Finally, after years of play-off pain Luton Town FC won promotion from the Conference Premier back to the League in 2013-14. This was the start of their unprecedented journey which saw Luton Town rise to the Premier League over the next nine years. To date, no other club has achieved this feat. This is the remarkable story of how this club with a tiny budget managed to reach the Premier League in a space of less than a decade. A nail-biting win on penalties in the Championship play off final at Wembley in 2023 saw Luton hosting some of the richest clubs in the world in arguably the world’s most competitive football league in its humble long-standing Kenilworth Road stadium at the start of 2023-24. In this book, Rob Hadgraft who has been a season-ticket holder at Luton Town since the 1970s tells the story of Luton’s remarkable and unprecedented rise, widely acknowledged in the media as ‘football’s greatest fairytale’, ‘miraculous’ and ‘against all odds’. The rise from non-League obscurity in 2014 to arrival at football’s top table in 2023 is little short of a miracle - especially given Luton’s self-imposed budgetary restrictions and their ancient and tiny stadium. He tells the story from the viewpoint of a committed follower, mixing humour with the more serious background aspects of the journey.
