ON THIS DAY: 1988 Littlewoods Cup Final - Luton Town 3 Arsenal 2

Luton Town produced a superb comeback to win the Littlewoods Cup final on this day, April 24, in 1988 following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Arsenal at Wembley Stadium.

In front of a crowd of 95,732, the Hatters took the lead in the first half through Brian Stein, but trailed with 15 minutes to go, as Martin Hayes and Alan Smith scored. Town keeper Andy Dibble then saved Nigel Winterburn's penalty, as Danny Wilson levelled and Stein scored again to win it in the final seconds. Below, the Luton News takes a special look at just who took to the field for Town that day.
