Any FA Cup Previous? Latics v Luton

Latics and Luton have met twice previously in the FA Cup.

 

The first meeting came in December 2002, a 2^nd round tie played at the then named JJB Stadium. Two Nathan Ellington goals and a sweet volley from substitute Michael Flynn saw the Latics through 3:0.

A young Emmerson Boyce played in the Luton side that day.

Latics: Filan; Eaden, Breckin, Jackson, Baines; Green (Mitchell 55), Dinning, Jarrett, Roberts (Flynn 81), Kennedy (Teale 55), Ellington

Unused Subs: Beasant, Brannan

Goals: Ellington (37 & 64), Flynn (86)

Ref: Howard Webb

Att: 4,544

 

Last Time Out

The last meeting was of course the 3^rd round tie at Luton earlier this month, the game ended 1:1 but the Latics were desperately unlucky not to come away with the win having what looked a perfectly good goal disallowed in the final minute of the game. 

Highlights - Luton 1:1 Latics

 

Luton FA Cup Form

The Hatters have been passed the 3^rd round on just one occasion in the last ten seasons, though their FA Cup pedigree isn’t too bad, finalists back in 1959, losing to Nottingham Forest 2:1, Elton John’s uncle, Ron Dwight famously breaking his leg in that game, they also have three semi-finals under their belt, 1985, losing to Everton, 2:1. 1988, losing to Wimbledon, again 2:1 and in 1993, this time losing 2:0 to Chelsea.
