Yellow-tinted statistics

[North North Watford]

Make them as absurd as you like, but only truthful ones please.

No manager has achieved seven promotions in the Football League without taking charge of Watford.

Alex Ferguson is the only British manager to do the treble without first managing Watford.

Malky Mackay has never bought a player and later sold him at a loss.

Watford have never gone into administration under Bassini.

Serious one: By my reckoning, you have to go back to 2006/07 to find the last time someone played a league game for us but later dropped out of professional football for reasons other than career threatening injury or retirement.

Watford are the only team to have two players of the same name (that'd be Ross Jenkins then!).
Maybe there are others..............?????????????????????

 

[tworossjenkins]

oops. 2 John Andersons for Exeter before the war

There is a similar topic on the forest 606 board

Watford were the first team to finish fourth in the FA Cup.

 

[tworossjenkins]

Shouldn't have said that. 2 keith Bannisters @ Chesterfield, 2 Jimmy Bloomers @Grimsby,
2 David Butlers @ Workington (1 ex 'orn), 2 Dennis Butlers @ Reading, 2 Tom Brown @ Ipswich, 2 William Browns @ Accrington.

and Brentford has 3 Bill Browns. I think I will quit cos I am only up to B..........

Vicarage Road is the only ground name in the league to have an equal number of vowels and consonants.

Ricoh Arena?? Molineux?? Deepdale??

Sorry - I'll stop now!

If the name 'Smith' meant 'one hour', Watford would have had a whole day play for them.

If Watford started with an X we would be the only club whose name started with an X

 

[Norwayhornet]

Xanthi!!!

 

[Norwayhornet]

There are three that I know are Xanthi (Greece) Xerez (Spain) and Xezeres -spelling- (Azerbijan)

We've had father and son players who were born in different countries but both represented the same one in international football (Frank and Kenny Jackett but Frank only played for Wales U-23s as it was then)

We are the only english league club with a pitch below ground level

Good one - I think. Am not sure how that could be verified!

 

[Leo]

[richwill99]

and the only one whose pitch doubles as Saracens home turf

 

[Leo]

Welcome to not606 rich - was going to say you are a long way from home for your first post - but you are probably closer than most MU fans are

 

[bragantino]

I remember Frenchie came up with a Watford team that had representative players from ELEVEN diferent countries on the field at the same time, that's going some for even by Arsenal's and Chelski's standards.

I think Ashton gate is at an altitude of -2metres, or 2m below sea level, I am not sure if there are others , but grimsby place used to be basically on the beach!
