The clubs GT was associated with over the years all feel privileged to have known him - everything they say - as well as almost everything from elsewhere is positive. Not often a manager is so universally liked.

Bruce Dyer - I actually didn't encounter Graham much. I know he was a great man and transformed Watford. Over the years we crossed and he was so polite and very .respectful

Richard Lee - Graham was the man who offered me my first professional contract. I'll always remember the meeting we had, my Dad, who is a very successful businessman fancied the challenge of being my agent. He was dressed in his sharpest suit with pages upon pages of notes, ready to negotiate the very best deal he could with Graham. We sat down and Graham told story upon story and had us captivated for the best part of two hours. My Dad and I were both in awe, he created such a warm environment when in his company. My Dad didn't make a single pre planned point before Graham stopped mid story, looked at the contract, crossed out a few figures, entered some new ones and simply said 'this is a fantastic contract for you, you'll do well here'. And that was it, I agreed and signed there and then. Needless to say my Dad never even tried his hand at agency ever again! I have so much to thank him for personally, he created an incredible environment at Watford FC for both fans and players. RIP Graham.

Ian Bolton - Absolutely loved the man, i would have ran through a brick wall for him and the fans. For seven years he took me, team, supporters and the whole community on an incredible journey from a lower 4th division team to 2nd in the 1st division and playing in Europe. Playing very entertaining and winning football!!It was a pleasure and a privilege to play for him and to have known him. Very, very, sad, rest in peace great man, love you always xxxx

Worrell Sterling - I remember him being very driven, whose attention to detail was second to none and on a mission to being a great manager, which he undoubtedly became. He gave me the biggest moment of my career (Liverpool at home the game to secure 2nd place) at 17 years old, amazing! I have been back to the Vic unfortunately only for a handful of occasions in over 30 years (how time flies), but wished that we'd met and had an adult conversation as oppose to young player and manager business as usual approach. He was undoubtedly a great and decent man who was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him.
I'd like to send Rita and the family my sincere condolences.

Don't forget these and all the memories received are all available to read on www.enjooooythegame.co.uk
