https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/news/119498.he-phones-she-answers-he-scores/ Bit of a throwback for me to a simple time where beer, betting and bravado collided in one half of football.. The question is. Did love win out in this fairytale throwback from 20 years ago.....
You say it was a fairytale, and you chose Mooney as your favourite player, means that 100%, yes love won out!
"Mr Paul Turner, 24.....Mr Turner, a Watford fan for 13 years...." Article published 2000. 2000-13 = 1987. 1987 = 9th place finish and a cup semi final. Hot on the heels of our cup final showing and 2nd place league finish. So who did the glory hunting whopper support for the first 11 years of this life then I wonder? And thanks a bunch for being such a jonah we get relegated the very next season after he starts supporting us. Absolutely pathetic.
I remember that game. Freezing cold and keeping one eye on Fulham's game. I think they drew with Preston which put us top. As for the poll, I joined the back of the Que to become the next Mrs. Moog.
I'll take the bait.... I supported Liverpool until the 1987-88 season bud. First Watford game was in 1988 v Oxford 3-0. Family terrace. £1.50. The Watford Observer always have been economical with the truth.... Feckers had me on the front page too if I recall....
Just out of interest, what was your managerial role at Sainsbury’s back then and how long did it take you to get there?
Fury. Wowsers! Anyway. I didn't marry her but I did marry the fine lady who I met not long after this happened.
I was expecting talk of curly wurlies being much bigger back then and fizzy cola bottles being 1/2p each. **** haribo.
