Does anyone know what year it was when Charlton and Luton last played in the same division together?
1995/96. They finished bottom of whatever the second division was called back then. We came 6th and lost in the playoffs to a nameless bunch. Millwall temporarily disappeared from view that season too having been top early doors.
1990s. Nelse scored a winner at kenilworth on the telly. Think we had a couple of seasons in old div 1 with them.
We did indeed. 3-0 was our first home win of the season, lthink we ost 2-5 away the same year, Lennie trying three centre-backs to counter their powerful forward (Hartford?) but it didn't work.
We got a hammering off them (Luton) in the 70's at the The Valley, mid week game would have been old Div 2, I think. Remember climbing over the high gates wearing a suit(not a sensible idea) to get out early thinking I could get a train. Memory is hazy but may have been 0-6 down and I had enough.
We lost 1-5 at home to Luton in the mid 70's too. It was a night game and I am sure we went 1-0 up and then they blitzed us with 3 goals in about 5 minutes early second half. Went to the 7-1 defeat at their place too and a few 3.0 stuffings along the way.

Yeah you have a hazy memory. It was 1-5. An old John Aston pulled us apart. I recall they scored 3 up the covered end in about 3 second half minutes.

Thanks for clarifying the score. Even so, it was a bad night.
Remember going to Luton away in the mid 90s for a new year game when it was without question the coldest i've ever been at a football match. Think we won 1-0.

We must have been in the same division since though surely...
I remember Killer's first hat trick for us.
