Clever, but not the person I had in mind. Not sure if they have had the printing contract since 1984. This person joined Watford in 1984 not a player or involved in the coaching staff. BTW, it's not connected to the Cup final.
As you can tell, I did not personally verify the answer - but i read it in a publication. A WFC publication.
My question doesn't seem to have inspired much enthusiasm. Sorry about that - I tried to keep it to WFC. Anyway, how long do I wait before supplying the answer, or would anyone like another clue ?
Not a player or on coaching or medical staff. His name appeared in every programme, even when he wasn't directly employed by WFC ! I have another clue - try American weighlifters!
Yiikes.... a lot of American weightlifters! I am thwarted as all my programmes are away in a box and my back is bad so cant get to them!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_male_weightlifters I guess one of these... but i am clearly missing something....
So, time for a bit of Sherlock Holmes deduction. Not a player or member of coaching staff, not the printers and not always directly employed by Watford FC. Has had his name mentioned in every Watford FC programme since 1984 and has the same name as a well known American weightlifter. What do we deduce from this my dear Watson ? We need access to a Watford FC. match programme over that period - and we don't have it Also not very well up on American weightlifters. Obviously someone well respected by the club - otherwise he would only have been mentioned when directly employed.
Apparently, I should have said 'powerlifter'. Have no idea of the difference between weightlifter & powerlifter.
Yes - well done! The book produced to celebrate 25 years of the Community trust had the information. Over to you.
A power lifter does a squat, a bench-press and a dead lift whereas a weightlifter has to put the weights over his head via "the snatch" (basically one movement lifting the bar overhead whilst squatting, before standing) and the "clean and jerk" (getting the bar to chest/shoulder in the first movement then overhead in the second). I used to train with a former Army powerlifting champion. Enormously strong man, it was a privilege to work out with him and be asked to "spot" for him.
Ok.... here we go... one or two might find this easy.. What is one of the most inefficient plays in soccer.....?
a) Kicking the ball at the ref. b) Long punts upfield direct from goal kicks (nearly always goes to the opposition). c) Crossing from open play (as opposed to corners or free kicks) where the goal ratio is particularly low.
