One fixture is missing. From my research this could well be against Vulcans at Roundwood Park on the 22nd December 1888. This fixture was announced but no result shown anywhere. Hopefully the British Newspaper Archives will release a newspaper with confirmation soon. In the meantime it is probable that this is the missing games which was drawn.
The official figures from the AGM show that Luton Town -Played 38, Won 23, Lost 9, Drew 6, Goals for 115, goals against 49.
The club were satisfied with the season but the opposition were only middling to weak clubs. As for the known scorers – L.C.R. Thring – 9, Walter Miller – 9, J.C. Lomax – 8, Locke Narburg, George Deacon – 7, Nolloth – 5, Frank Whitby, Spraggles, Spratley – 3, Edgar Wright, Hills, – 2. And on one goal each – Ernest Lomax, Hoy, Waller, Harry Whitby, G.H. Small, Humphrey, Smith, Paul, Taylor, Fuller, Towle, Moody, Corney and Pedrick. Lastly we have 2 own goals – the Caddington goalkeeper was barged over the line twice whilst holding the ball so I have counted them as own goals. Spratley was the barger on both occasions.
