Ian Richardson scored in the UEFA cup and didn't retire injured at Watford. He played 15 games for us and then had a shortish career in the lower leagues. Still deserves cult status though.

 

Ian Richardson, of course. Tragically short career. Poor chap

 

Recently manager of Tring Athletic. Good bloke, by all accounts

 

He still lives there.

 

Sorry. Nascot Wood.

 

Bless him!
My brother Paul and I used to go to Woodside to watch the juniors play when he was in charge of the youth team.
I'm pretty sure Gary Porter was in the side,possibly Charlie Palmer but they certainly had a player called Lucas Luca or something akin.
I can still hear TW hollering at this lad "Lucas,LUCAS LUCA,pass the BALL" like a track suited Hywel Bennett!

 

My dad used to take us too. Maybe slightly later. I remember DJ in goal.

 

Me. You can't get any more cultish than proposing to a girl for a bet.....

 

So you were discussing flower arranging at the match.

And to think some people still wonder why watford fans are the biggest laughing stock in world football.

Wept!

 

Hope it wasn't me .
I didn't like him because he ponced around on the ball against Swansea and was tackled and the ball ballooned into the net and we lost 2 0.

I liked Brian Pollard, Bobby Downes, and Alan Mayes
