THE JOY OF SIX!

Posted on: Sat 20 Mar 2010

The Hatters' thumping 6-1 victory at Ebbsfleet United has got us trawling through the record books.

You have go back to 14th December 1996 for the last time the Town hit six when beating Crewe Alexandra 6-0 at Kenilworth Road.

Away from home, it's been 46 years since the Hatters have scored as many.

That occured during in a 6-2 win at Griffin Park against Brenford on 8th February 1964.

Saturday's incredible turnaround at Stonebridge Road mirrors a result back in August 1978 when the Town were a goal down at home to Oldham Athletic before scoring six times in the second 45 minutes to triumph 6-1.

The victory over Ebbsfleet was sixth time the Town have scored six times or more on the road.

A 6-3 win over Southampton occured in October 1937 while, going back further, they hammered Caerphilly 9-0 in 1914, Wellingborough 8-0 in 1897 and won 6-0 at Clapton in 1896.

Claude Gnakpa became the first Town man to score a hat-trick since Steve Howard's treble in the 4-1 win at MK Dons in November 2004.
