Bedford
Bedford, below, played in Black and Amber in the 1891 Luton Charity Cup quarter final in which they beat the hosts 6 1.
Back row: George Royle (Treasurer), M.D. Nicholson, Alexander Houliston, Jack Seabrooke, Mark Barber (Secretary).
Middle row: F.B. “Taffy” Jones, A.F. Smith, Edwin Capon, F. Blaney, H. Perkins
Front row: H.H. Holland, Herbert W. Oclee (captain), W. Eaton.
Herbert Oclee would sign for Luton Town the following season. M.D. Nicholson is often incorrectly called Mark. His real name was Magnus Douglas Nicholson. His badge appears to be Corinthians for whom he also played. He signed for West Brom and won the F.A. Cup with them in 1892. He later played for Luton Town – see him in “Looking back – Newspaper reports” which is also in the Library.

Hanover United, later Polytechnic F.C.
Based in Regent Street, London, the Polytechnic football team were first known as Hanover United. They were the first club to use, and therefore gave the world, the term “United.” They played in blue and red stripes.
Quintin Hogg and Arthur, later Lord, Kinnaird played for the team and maintained an interest in the club. Lord Kinnaird competed in 9 of the first 11 F.A. Cup finals and was President of the F.A. for 33 years. Hanover United changed their name to Polytechnic under which name their greatest moment was beating Luton Town 4 2 in the 1892 F.A. Cup. This photo is a little later.
