    Has a World Cup winner ever played for Watford?

    Genuine question.

    Ha ha ha.

    There must be only around 300 players who have ever got on the field in a final for a winning World Cup team. I don’t think we saw any of them on the way up nor have any ever fallen so spectacularly from grace.

    We have had quarter finalists and John Barnes and Steve Hodge we’re both on the bench for the Italia 90 semi final.

    Any European Championship winners ?
    OK any English league title winners ? - Richardson.

    Everton haven't won the league yet.

    I remember when we were strongly linked with Giuseppe Bergomi. Must have been during the Vialli summer?

    It didn't come off, but that's probably as close as we've come.

    Ben Foster and Tom Cleverley are both title winners. Foster was also at United for their Champions League win in 2008, unfortunately, however, he underwent surgery on a cruciate ligament injury at the start of the season and so spent the majority of it convalescing; only making his actual Champions League debut the following year.

    Bergomi was 1999/2000 when GT got us up - I remember the rumour vividly.

    Filippo Galli was a European Cup winner, not sure if he's been mentioned.
     
  12. Have seen Success, Prodl, Janmaat, Hughes and Dahlberg on Instagram grams

    Janmaat is in the video where players welcome Gomes back. As was Dahlberg.
    Cucho and Lukebakio will have extended summers as they have played in tournaments.
    Think Success was in Chalobah’s video on IG today regarding Navarro’s bday.

    I got back from Glastonbury today. I’ve had VERY little to do.

    Jeepers, Moose.

    Which one are you?

    Taking their time to remove the duct tape over Holebas' mouth.

    Don't want the tache to come off with it.

    Presumably spit flecked hate posts from Watford fans.

    Perhaps a fair point for Lukebakio as Belgium were knocked out on 22nd June, but Colombia exited the youth World Cup a month ago already (June 2nd).

    Quite right but I expect it’s a blanket rule where players are all allowed the same holiday. So he’d still be a week or two behind the others. Unless it’s WP related obviously....

    But I’m not shocked if he’s not there that’s all. As I doubt he would be yet, even with a WP.

    Jose is there...unfortunately so is Sema.

    Although it could be fake as Jose is smiling.

    Alessandro Diamanti was a non playing sub in the final of Euro 2012. He also came off the bench in the QF vs England.. and scored the decisive penalty in the shoot out that saw Italy progress to the semi final.

    Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in quite a while.

    Had the skill of Pereyra, the end product of Jurado and the fitness levels of Okaka.

    They need to do it quick because the boot of a Fiat Cinquecento will get unbearably hot in this weather .

    Video of week one is on the WFC. website.
    Who at WFC. chooses that absolutely dreadful music (????) that accompanies their videos I wonder.
    I have to turn off the volume, I think it's that awful.

    When they showed the slow motion bit of Deeney running I thought my computer screen had frozen.

    Also, the touch from him at 2:14 - hideous.
