This book is a statistical record of Luton Town from their formation through to the 1996-97.
The opening pages show four black and white team photos, a page of Luton's honours and records, and a 2-page condensed history before the main content of the book - the season-by-season statistical records.
The non-league seasons (late 19th/early 20th century) are covered briefly, the league seasons in more detail with each league season being covered match by match with details of the scores, the attendances, the players that played and the Luton scorers. The final league table is also given. Cup matches are included too, including cups such as the Full Members Cup, the Anglo-Italian Cup and the Southern Professional Floodlit Cup (which Luton won in 1956-57).
After this there are 2-pages listing Luton's full playing record against other league clubs, 8-pages worth of details on the players that played for Luton with their DOB, place of birth, when they died, their seasons at Luton, the clubs they came from and went to, their appearance and goal records. A brief list of managers follows before a page of black and white pictures to close.
Overall this is a great statistical record for Luton fans. There are some gaps in the early years on attendances, and the accuracy I haven't checked although the authors say they have double and triple-checked so it should be good. Of course this isn't up to date now and a more recent record can be found within the book Luton Town Football Club: A Full Record: 1885-2010.
