Luton Town 2-0 Derby County (1991) - Mick Harford's deliberate own goal

[@TVMatriX-1001]

Luton has an incredible history

[@shozltn2376]

What a legend . True loyalty 🔥

[@markvarney1267]

Love that black and white kit!

[@wolfyhatter9192]

Cheers Mick and now you are back where you belong.

Weirdly, Harford actually grew up a Sunderland fan, but still chose to play a part in getting them relegated. He also turned down the chance to join Man Utd a few months after this (seriously), preferring to rejoin Luton. Interesting career choice...

[@of_doom_and_steel477]

And the following season he equalized against Man Utd late in the season to make them drop more points and continue their slump that allowed Leeds to clinch the title.

[@johnbridge6572]

He never turned united down, he was never told about utd, I'm watching him now on the under the cosh podcast, that's why I've searched this goal, and him stamping on Watford players celebrating a goal

[@TORRES999ify]

@John Bridge have you found the one stamping on watford players. Here for same reason 🤣

[@johnbridge6572]

@@TORRES999ify they think it's all over Watford celebration

[@TORRES999ify]

@John Bridge 🤣🤣🤣 thank you.. that's brilliant,, doesn't give a shit

[@potsiewebber4266]

Peter Shilton's last top flight game.

[@pocolol8424]

David Preece was my favourite player as a kid one of the best I have ever seen at Walsall. So sad.

[@livefreeordie7209]

Great player.

[@donner101]

I wish he had played for Notts County the following season.

[@billybigtime2808]

I'd say Looking at the way Shilton looks at Harford it was intentional all day long

[@nigefal]

His face was a picture alright. Half laughing.

I never knew this 😳

Thanks Lewis

wait that’s matin tyler

[@KebabMusicLtd]

The table at the start doesn't make sense. Sunderland had played Arsenal on 4th May and got a point. They were playing their last game of the season against Man City on 11th May whilst this match was taking place at Kennilworth road. Sunderland would have needed a win and Luton to lose... as Luton had scored more goals (LT: 40-61 -21 34pts SUN: 36-57 -21 33pts) going into the final weekend. Sunderland lost their game 2-3 to City...

[@priesty1234]

I think English footballers were much better back then, seems much more comfortable with the ball at there feet

[@jerryoshea3116]

Yes!. Players has to be,because u had defenders making serious, business like tackles and challenges..unlike now,where it's a joke!

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

It's a plastic pitch so this isn't a true representation of English football at this particular time.

[@jamesdoyle3885]

Did Luton stay up? Did they need villa to lose they're games

[@tommorowhill]

Only 2 went down that Season, my team and Derby.

[@TheOriginalProfG]

That was not deliberate. If yu see at the beginning of the video he had a great effort just wide of the Luton goal.

[@RHKO]

He admitted it

[@fireworkz2k]

I think the most shocking thing about this video was that Luton were in the league

[@beziers88]

fireworkz2k they were in top flight for Twelve years.

[@charliekeen7539]

fireworkz2k look now you twat

[@richardhills2543]

I’ve just come back from watching the same teams this evening and the ground looks exactly the same, 30 years later !

[@KebabMusicLtd]

Yeah, Luton got promoted with Watford in 1982. Whereas Watford could only stay 6 seasons and won nothing (as usual), Luton stayed 10 and won the League Cup/Littlewoods Cup). Of course, Watford have since returned to Wembley for an FA Cup Final, but they really would have been better taking up seats in the stand for all the good they did... joint record defeat in an FA Cup Final 0-6
