George Oghani 57 today

[Herts Clarets]

I remember Oghani scoring a sensational disallowed goal after dancing around the entire Luton Town defence (old div 1 side back then) in a cup tie at Turf Moor then and sliding the ball home for what we all thought was an astonishing equaliser.. But the ref pulled the game back for a foul on halfway. It was clear though that Oghani and the Luton goalkeeper and defenders trying to stop him hadn't heard the whistle. I seem to remember a lot of the Longside not even realising it had been disallowed for quite a while amidst the euphoria.

A couple of years ago I was working with a Luton fan who was at that game. He remembered the disallowed goal and who scored it. Luton’s goal was scored by Ricky Hill if I remember rightly. How far fortunes have changed, as back then Luton were a First Division side and we were in our 4th season in the bottom division.

Were Luton also the cup holders that year or was it the season they went on to win it?

Just checked; they were the holders and also went on to reach the final again.

Amazing to think that drawing Luton was a pretty big deal. And giving them a good game over two legs was a considerable achievement.

Were Luton the club who had a ban on away fans?

I still can't celebrate a goal to this day without checking the ref has given it because of that. Luton were League cup holders at the time.

After a game v Millwall,I think. They had quite an eccentric chairman who seemed to revel in the publicity he was creating.
