Our history

Bob signed amateur forms for the Hatters as the War drew to a close and then signed full-time in 1946. After making his debut in 1948 at centre-forward in a 1-0 win at West Ham, Bob never looked back and the only question mark in his long career was whether he was a better wing-half or forward.

His versatility doubtless cost him senior international honours, but whether he was stopping goals as a strong, tough tackling defender, or knocking them in at the other end, he never gave less that 100% and always played with a smile on his face.

After leaving Luton at the age of 38 in 1964, Bob became player-manager of Bletchley Town before enjoying 16 years with Luton Sports Press.

The Vauxhall Motor Company came to Luton in 1905. It needed to expand and chose a seven acre site in the town, beginning production in 1907. At its peak, 36,000 people were employed here. The building named Morton House today was called K Block.

Over the years K block had a wide variety of uses, it housed the Chroming area for bike frames and bumpers, it was an assembly line and radiator shop.

The offices were used for tax offices, mail rooms, export offices for Bedford Trucks, sales office and typing pool, and in more recent times the marketing and sales offices and demonstration area.
