George Cummins

During the early 1950s, one of Luton's greatest sides[22] emerged under manager Dally Duncan.[23] The team included Gordon Turner, who went on to become Luton's all-time top goalscorer,[24] Bob Morton, who holds the record for the most club appearances,[25] and Syd Owen, an England international.[26] During this period, Luton sides also featured two England international goalkeepers, Ron Baynham and Bernard Streten,[27][28] as well as Irish internationals Seamus Dunne,[29] Tom Aherne and George Cummins.[30][31] This team reached the top flight for the first time in 1955–56, after finishing the season in second place behind Birmingham City on goal average.[32] A few years of success followed, including an FA Cup Final appearance against Nottingham Forest in 1959;[33] at the end of the season, Owen was voted FWA Footballer of the Year.[34] However, the club was relegated the following season, and, by 1965, was playing in the fourth tier.[35]

In yo-yo club fashion, Luton were to return. A team including Bruce Rioch, John Moore and Graham French won the Fourth Division championship in 1967–68 under the leadership of former player Allan Brown;[5] two years later Malcolm Macdonald's goals helped them to another promotion,[36] while comedian Eric Morecambe became a director of the club.[36] Luton Town won promotion back to the First Division in 1973–74, but were relegated the following season by a solitary point.[5][37] Former player David Pleat was made manager in 1978, and by 1982–83 the team was back in the top flight.[5] On the last day of the club's first season back in the top tier, the side narrowly escaped relegation: Playing Manchester City at Maine Road, Luton needed to win to stay up, while City could escape with a draw
