The last time Stags won at Luton was in the National League in 2013, but we’ve gone back even further for our latest retro gallery as we remember the last team to win at Luton in the Football League, in what was a 3-2 success back in September 2002.
Liam Lawrence, Scott Sellars and Iyseden Christie were on target to put Mansfield 3-0 up, before late goals from Steve Howard and Kevin Nicholls made it a nervy finish as Stags held on.
Here’s the Stags squad from that day and where their careers took them in the years since.
