Fond memories..... Our greatest era... http://www.watfordfc.com/news/article/watford-fc-graham-taylor-stand-gallery-2111076.aspx some great images of the newly named stand.... So good to hear his reflections... http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/watfordfc/watfordfcnews/11631964._/
It is a very nice touch from the Pozzo family really. Gentlemen. I only really saw his return, but that was still good. He's managed over 1000 league games in England, only Jim Smith and Brina Cough have more. The play-off win against Bolton is my best Watford memory so far. He deserves the stand to be named after him.
Because it's a ****hole of a new "corporate" ground with no atmosphere or tradition and unworthy of being associated with the great man in any way, shape or form. Next question, you moron........
Without doubt he changed Watford from a side that was going nowhere into one that could play at the highest level. He built teams that excited us as well as ones that were successful. He had the players believing in themselves as well as the fans certainty that we could do almost anything. A great time in our history and with the way that football is going today I will be very surprised if it is ever repeated in a similar manner. Let us not forget either that he came back as a director and stayed with the club through turbulent days with certain owners. To name the stand after him is great, and I wish that I could be there tomorrow to watch the proceedings.
I wonder what ex-players will go? My old man still raves about John Barnes at Watford, but will he go tomorrow? I hope Mooney is there! This quote made me chuckle! “I feel very honoured because in this day and age, if you name a stand after somebody then usually it is because they have paid for that right. To get a stand named after you now is so unusual. The other side of it is that if an individual does have a stand named after them, then usually they have died. So I do really feel honoured. This was the last thing I expected because of the years that have gone by." Better get a win tomorrow, I hope the newer players are informed of why he is there!
Of course QPR hadn't played and won at the old Wembley in living memory (for most of us) - we won the last club game played there. QPR won the Play-off Final this year for the first time. We've won it twice. I shouldn't forget this visit to Wembley of course... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5t5BKIlw8TU Tonked by f**ing Oxford?????? Good night, BBH. Oxford? Still laughing. You could've done with a decent manager, that day ... 'course we had one, none other than...
That's called 'crashing and burning', BBH. vic. Also, as if vic hadn't made the point well enough, here are the seventeen managers QPR had while Graham Taylor managed Watford: Dave Sexton, Frank Sibley, Alec Stock, Steve Burtenshaw, Tommy Docherty, Terry Venables, Gordon Jago, Alan Mullery, Frank Sibley, Jim Smith, Ray Wilkins, Stewart Houston, John Hollins, Ray Harford, Iain Dowie, Gerry Francis, and the redoubtable Ian Holloway. please log in to view this image
Yorkie, I'd be dead chuffed if you and anyone else going could take a few pics for exiles like me. Cheers.
