Comments:
This was Luton Town's first top-flight game since a 2-1 loss at Notts County on 2 May 1992; the last day of the old First Division before the commencement of the first season of the Premier League. Their goal was scored by Julian James. . Only nine years after playing in the National League, they became the 51st team to play in the Premier League. . The Hatters had now become the first former top division team to drop out of the Football League before returning to the top flight again. .Pelly Ruddock became the first-ever player to appear for the same club fron non-league, through the three Football League divisions and in to the Premier League.
