Nigerian-born Emeka Nwajiobi was picked up from non-League Dulwich Hamlet in November 1983 by Luton manager David Pleat on the advice of John Moore and within two months had made a scoring debut in a home game with Nottingham Forest.
Late to make the grade, Nwajiobi had decided that his studies came first and had obtained a degree in Pharmacy before stepping into the world of professional football.
A fast, tricky forward with a good eye for goal, Nwajiobi was part of the fabled 'A' team at Kenilworth Road (so named by David Pleat) playing alongside Brian Stein and Mick Harford in a devastating attack.
Unfortunately, a broken toe kept him out of the side for a long spell and on his return the injury jinx struck again, this time a fractured ankle. After only two more appearances Nwajiobi decided to call it a day and took up pharmacy full time.
