A combined attendance of almost 200,000 saw these three games, with hundreds of millions more watching on TV watfordfc
The 1982/83 season was the most successful in Watford’s history as the Hornets beat Liverpool 2-1 on the final day to ensure they would finish second in the old First Division.
The opening game of the tour took place on June 1, 1983 when Watford took on the Chinese national side in front of 80,000 spectators with temperatures in the mid-90s. “In his first senior game, and being watched by an estimated television audience of 400 million, Richardson scored twice in the magnificent Peking Workers’ Stadium to silence the packed arena, which was full of bike-riding Chinese,” our report stated.
A crowd of 40,000 looked on as Shanghai striker Xi Zhkanh put the home side in front, but goals from Terry and Nigel Callaghan saw Taylor’s side come from behind to win 2-1.
