*Unknown goal scorer – the reports say Luton scored from a scrimmage near to goal, no one named.

** Luton Town received a bye in the F.A. Cup first qualifying round.

This was a superb season.  The result against Old Westminsters (who included 6 England Internationals) made everyone sit up in the football world.  Victories at Chatham and Millwall at home secured Luton’s place as the third best team in the South (behind Royal Arsenal and Millwall Athletic).  The first trophy also arrived, the Luton Charity Cup.  The attendances followed success on the pitch with 3,000 Lutonians regularly attending.

The Club record was –

Played 43,  W 31,  L 10, D 2,  Goals for 123, Goals against 65

The goal scorers were – Galbraith 32, Allen 22, Dimmock 17, Finlayson 14, Brown 11, Julian 9,  OG 5, Taylor, H. Whitby 3; Groom, Vickers 2; Wilson, Hoy, Watkins, Hayes 1.

The Reserves also did well with a record as follows –

Played 20,  W 16, L 3, D 2, Goals for 91,  goals against 21
