Tony Read

John Anthony "Tony" Read is an English former footballer, most noted as a player for Luton Town.

Playing career

After failing to make the grade at Sheffield [Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday], goalkeeper Read signed for Peterborough [United F.C.|Peterborough United]. After only two appearances, he was on the move again, as he signed for Luton Town in March 1965.
Read arrived at Luton with a broken foot, and after a spree of goalscoring in the reserves, Read finally arrived in the Luton first team during the 1965–66 season—as a forward. Read scored 12 goals in 20 starts, even including a hat-trick against Notts County, but his rich vein of form soon dried up and he returned to his position between the posts.
Read was a regular for the next six years and a firm fans' favourite at Kenilworth Road, but in 1972 he decided to hang up his gloves.
