Luton trophy sale price 'incredible', says Black

Former Luton Town midfielder Kingsley Black says the sale of their 1988 Littlewoods Cup trophy for £320,000 is "incredible".

The trophy was auctioned off on Tuesday and fetched more than 10 times the sum that was expected.

"It was broken by some form of high jinks - obviously the repair was successfully done to achieve such an amazing price at auction," Black told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"The irony is that for previous games at Wembley, you were given small medals but the actual medal itself that the players were given were replica trophies that were about eight inches tall and beautifully made - the detail was exceptional.

"I'm fortunate to have a couple of these because we also reached the final the following year against Nottingham Forest when unfortunately they beat us, so I've got two of these replica trophies - one says winners and one says finalists. I wonder what they're worth."

After taking an early lead in the final 37 years ago, Luton came from 2-1 down with goals by Danny Wilson and the second of the game from Brian Stein to win 3-2.

"To be involved in a major part of their history is a wonderful memory for me," said Luton-born Black, who played more than 150 games for the club.

"The biggest memory was the feeling that the game was slipping away until the fabulous Andy Dibble penalty save. That gave us a massive boost and enabled us to get the equaliser and then go on for Brian Stein to score the winner.

"It was a wonderful occasion, a hot day, it was end to end, good to watch and certainly good to play in."
