Welcome to a new and occasional feature on Some People Are On The Pitch where we look at a team at
their peak, choose three players from it and track where they were in their lives before, during
and after that peak as well as the fortunes of the team itself.
As today sees the taking place of the 2008 League Cup Final, we thought we'd take as our subject
the Luton Town team that beat Arsenal 3-2 in the same Final 20 years ago.
