Oliver Phillips to be honoured by watfordfc as Vicarage Road media suite us to be named after him
Watford Football Club has announced it is to name the Media Suite at Vicarage Road Stadium in honour of former Watford Observer Sports Editor Oliver Phillips.
He is now due to return to his home in Saint-Amans-Soult, in southern France, in order to spend his final days and weeks in the comfort of his own home with his family and dogs. This comes shortly after Watford Borough Council announced that Oli had been added to their list of 100 people who made the town of Watford as part of its celebrations to mark its centenary last year.“Suddenly I find a Media Suite named after me just as soon as I am listed as one of 100 people to most influence the town. I am humbled by it all.
There is also a large theatre-style room which is where managers and players speak to the press after matches. During his first spell at Vicarage Road, Watford FC’s Head Of Communications & Media Relations Richard Walker saw Oli’s final years of covering the club.
