Back to 1972, a car breakdown, a chase away from the ground and another point

There’s a (poor quality) video of this game.

Great finish by Taffy - I look forward to seeing Taffy II (Wilson) doing the same in the PL :D

I remember this match...Luton had (revolutionary at the time) had cut the pitch in circles from the centre spot.
Another good away point on our quest for promotion ‘back to where we belong’ 8-)

Anyone doubting the advantage of having a two-footed winger just needs to watch Taffy's second goal.

I went to this game being based in London made it a relatively straightforward journey. Your report reminds me of what a strange game it was, going 'to and fro' with chances for both teams. I was stood down the side right behind where 'Taffy' picked up the ball before scoring the equaliser. As soon as it left his foot I could see it was beating their keeper. I was 20 years old, too, but had a simple journey back to South West London to continue my studies. :o
