And for all his friends at Kenilworth Road, it was an opportunity to remember their friend, Nigel Martin - who was known to so many at the Club as 'Santa'
During the 25th minute of this evening's game, applause rang out around the stadium, as supporters celebrated the life of Nigel - who sadly passed away earlier this month.
Then at half time, Nigel's sons, Sam and Ben were welcomed to the pitch to receive a thoroughly deserved Golden Hatter award for their dad - who was such an easily recognisable figure, helping the Club on so many occasions.
One behalf of everyone at Luton Town, our sincere condolences to Sam, Ben and all of Nigel's family and friends.
RIP Santa.
