Season summary

Luton struggled once again in the 199495 season, with the side struggling to score at home. Pleat's Luton side, including young players such as Oakes, Telfer and John Hartson, reacted positively when Pleat turned down the advances of Tottenham Hotspur to return to North London as manager, and rocketed up to fifth in the table. Hartson was bought by Arsenal for £2,500,000 soon after, a British record for a teenager. The season petered out into obscurity following Hartson's sale, and Luton finished 16th. Pleat then left for a second time, moving to Sheffield Wednesday.
