Crocs on Tour > 2005-06 > Luton Town
Luton Town - Wednesday 28/12/05

Christmas matches are always ones that throw up interesting local games. This time it was an evening trip to the rusty and ancient Kenilworth Road. Luton had been doing surprisingly well in the league following their promotion from League One, and they faced a Brighton side in their best run of form for 9 months, after winning back-to-back games. With no Tom Witham, Mark Potter made his Crocs on Tour debut alongside McCarthy and Kane on the trip to Luton, which made up phase 2 of McCarthy and Kane's 36 hour drinkathon.

 

At the end of phase one of the 36 hour drinkathon, both men made themselves sick to allow for maximum drinking the next day. On Wednesday morning, we revisit the vomit. Neil's was black and consisted of carrot
While McCarthy was distinctly less in volume, but was a rather luried yellow colour, possibly due to the large amount of cheesy spicy wedges he consumed during the evening
A whole wedge is viewable in this one, a feat of which McCarthy was extremely proud

We find Burger King! Unfortunately, the drink had taken affect on Potter, as he was unable to order his meal without laughter, so McCarthy had to do it for him
Lovely and helathy

McCarthy's eye filled up with blood on the way home, a combination of too much drink and the stress of being started on by an elderly man
