Good that the Sutton monkey has jumped off our backs....but, Luton are a big club really, whereas as Sutton are teeny. Luton got to some major finals in the 88-90 time and also were in the top flight around the same time, they had David Pleat, they were in the Championship until relatively recently - it was the catastrophic financial mismanagement that has seen them get relegated repeatedly (and their inability to get a new ground) - they are "non-league" in name only, really, given their support base. They will be back in the league soon, whereas Sutton are nothing.
Losing to Luton is bad for Norwich. Losing to Sutton was pathetic. I know which I'd rather pick!
we went to norwich the week after sutton, we were taunted all game,were a goal down for most of the game,then speedo scored that chip to win it 2-1.
Seems like yesterday.
The record has gone, but I think Sutton will still be considered the bigger upset sadly.
Sutton were a real non-league side with a ground that was just a metal bar around most of the pitch. Luton should be at least a League 1 club, but are languishing beneath their station.
Luton have been FA Cup finalists and League Cup winners. Sutton's biggest cup wins at the time were the Anglo-Italian Cup and the Isthmian League Cup.
Coventry had won the cup just two years earlier. Norwich were last semi-finalists in 1992.
There were 98 league places between Sutton and Coventry. Luton are 85 spots behind Norwich.

Do you recall who Sutton played in next round after they knocked us out?
Norwich away, they lost 6-0 I think
Newcastle v Hereford will always be the biggest shock because of THAT Radford goal. We will now be part of a list and because we're not the last on that list, we won't get talked about as much. And that's why I'll be eternally grateful to Luton.
Living close to Luton and MK there's quite a lot of smiling faces about today in Bedfordshire... Just wish we had tighter marking at PNE so my smile could have been as wide as theirs.

Think Norwich are only the 3rd top div team to lose at home to non league opp , i remember brum in the mid 80s losing at home to altrincham .
One record i dont think we will ever lose is the fact we were 4th in the league, therefore the highest placed team to lose to non league opp.
