This week's trip down Vicarage Road memory lane looks back at five Hornets players who helped deliver some wonderful memories in the 1980s watfordfc
The Watford Observer has again teamed with its friends at the Watford Treasury to share stories from previous issues of YBR! - Yellow Black & Red!
In the recollections of many Watford fans, from the distant perspective of, at best, middle age, it sometimes feels that in those five golden First Division seasons under Graham Taylor between 1982 and 1987, where we didn’t finish below 12th, and the sun always shone, unless we were playing with an orange ball on a frozen, snowy pitch, or getting soaked on an uncovered Vicarage Road end, the team barely changed at all.
However, there was one spot in the team that we could never quite get settled. While stability reigned elsewhere, it seemed we had someone new every season attempting to be the ‘nine’ to Luther Blissett’s ‘ten’ . Essentially, the centre-forward position became Watford’s version of Hogwarts’ Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching post. The following tributes to these players are appropriately brief.
