Mark Howard praised after Blackpool hold Luton to goalless draw

Yesterday at 07:52 pm - There was little doubt that Mark Howard was the star of the show as Blackpool and Luton played out a 0-0 draw at Bloomfield Road. Both Tangerines manager Terry McPhillips and Luton midfielder Glen Rea were in agreement – had it not been for Blackpool stopper Howard’s heroics, the Hatters could have celebrated a comfortable victory by the seaside.
