Favourite Ever Player...

Not enough (unsurprisingly) for this category, sadly.

 

Worst ? Steve Harrison .....was crap and replaced Keith Pritchett who wasn't.

 

Worst - Nathan Ellington. Just checked and he played 55 times!!

 

Nigel Callaghan, but could have easily have been several of the players that came up with GT.

Barnes, Coton, and even (in my book) the unsung heroes like Roger Joslyn and Les Taylor. You just felt such attachment to the team back then and you never felt they weren't giving their best.

 

A different subject, but seems a good place to mention Elton's autobiography "Me".

Only two thirds through the audio version, but it is really good, and one of the chapters is mostly about his association with Watford FC. Very interesting.

Mostly about his progression though his pop career though, very candid about his drugs and his sex life, and pretty coarse language throughout.

Very enjoyable!

 

Tony Coton.

He was the reason I supported Watford, a fantastic Keeper.

How he never got a cap for England i'll never know!!

 

Perhaps because you were young back then?

 

Nope, it's because they actually cared about the club.

 

I enjoyed it and really laughed at his description of Long John Badry who I went to Primary School with.

 

Favourite, Sarr. Best, Mariappa.

 

What a coincidence. Same first name as LBH

 

When I started going to games properly there was 1 player that stood out. Allan Nielsen. Absolutely loved him and I am sure I am not alone in that.

The other one would be Heidar. Just everything you want as a fan. 100% effort every game and saved us on more than one occasion. That year when Boothroyd came in late on he carried us to safety. Shame he left but his sale funded our next season where we got promoted. Will never forget his comeback at home to Leicester scoring two goals. What a man.

 

Seriously? Are you Mother of Mariappa?

 

Nope because that team was all about them (the press, Liverpool, fans of every other club, anybody who wasn’t a minnow) vs us (GT, Elton, The players, the fans all who came together as one)

 

No and no

 

Favourites in order:

1. Gifton
2. Abdi
3. Ramage

 

Tough one, I think Abdi just about shades it for me, genius.

Special mentions for Mooney, Helguson, Jan Lohman, Ian Bolton, Jason Drysdale....

I could go on.

 

Helguson, Mooney, T. Smith, Doyley

Different order depending on the day.

 

Scullion Coton Ramage McClelland Jenkins - hard to split

 

Mooney

Luther

Ramage

Hessenthaler

Phillips

Deeney

Vydra


Or something like that.

 

You must be real pleased your boy scored tonight.
Get him out of the club

 

Are you a bit simple?

 

His a leg end

 

Pearson out. That was no better than a Quique performance. We're down now and no mistake. We can't expect this side to suddenly start getting wins against Man City and liverpool to keep us up.

The pozzos have fiddled whist Rome has been burning. They utterly deserve to he relegated and to lose a lot of money. They can't sell up and piss off quickly enough for me.

 

Favourite: Andre Gray

Best: Andre Gray

 

Joking aside. Difficult to pick but top of my head right now...

Favourite: Mo Johnstone. 23 goals in 38 games. Good times.

Best: The Barnes/Blissett combo.

 

Well it aint Marriappa, not after that inexplicable OG he scored today

 

fav Luther
best Barnes
worst Prince Buaben shocking

 

Quite young, started getting into football gradually in the mid-00s, so unfortunately I missed out on a lot of quality players. Out of everyone I've seen, has to be Abdi, such a shame how his career has panned out since we got promoted...

 

Worst possibly Jurado. I'm not sure he got a single assist in the league although I'm happy to be corrected. He did assist Deeney's goal at Wembley but I try not to remember that game.

 

I was going to say John McClelland but since many have named him I will throw in his partner Ian Bolton, tremendous 60 yard Hoddlesk passes. Helguson the other one.

 

Doh! Yes of course.

 

Favourite has to be Alan Garner. Even though he was a former scummer, always loved him in the Rockford Files.

 

Mooney and Helguson cant decide between the two. Both put 100% in every game and scored their fair share of goals.
Galli was one of those players who just did what he needed to but with a touch of class and calmness.
