A scene of unmitigated jubilation. Viewed from the right, a crowd of men in a varying assortment of grey suits, navy tracksuits and white, orange and navy soccer attire celebrate together on a podium, many of them brandishing potent bottles of champagne. Some of the men wear straw boaters marked with white, orange and navy ribbons. One of the champagne bottles, which apparently was uncorked rather over-enthusiastically, can be seen in mid-air flying off the front of the podium, its contents flowing forth vigorously.

The 2009 Football League Trophy Final was the 26th final of the domestic football cup competition for teams from Football Leagues One and Two, the Football League Trophy. The final was played at Wembley Stadium in London on 5 April 2009, the second time that the final had been staged at the stadium since it was rebuilt. The match was contested between Luton Town and Scunthorpe United. Luton won the match 3–2 with Claude Gnakpa scoring the winner five minutes into extra-time. Luton's victory was a single positive note in an otherwise terrible season for the club. They started the season with a 30-point deduction imposed by the Football League and Football Association for various financial irregularities, despite the fact that these misdemeanours were carried out by the club's previous owners who had not been in charge since January 2008. Despite accumulating enough points to mathematically remain in League Two, they were twelve points from safety when the final was played and were ultimately relegated out of the Football League. They became the first club to win the Football League Trophy and suffer relegation from the Football League in the same season. As the competition is usually only contested by teams from Leagues One and Two, it was uncertain whether Luton could defend their trophy. On 15 June 2009, Luton's request to play in the competition in 2009–10 was denied by the Football League.
