    Hey!

    Not sure if this has been posted in the past, but I am wondering who would be in your starting 11 Watford Dream Team. The players can be current or past tenure, alive/deceased or retired. One rule is they must of played for Watford at some point in their careers.

    Here's mine:

    Manager: Graham Taylor (G O D)
    Chairman Elton John
    Formation: 4-4-2

    GK - Alec Chamberlain / reserve: Ben Foster

    Def - Nigel Gibbs
    Def - Sean Dyche
    Def - Keith Dublin
    Def - Lloyd Doley

    Mid - Clint Easton
    Mid - Ikechi Anya
    Mid - Micah Hyde
    Mid - John Barnes

    CF - Luther Blissett
    CF - Tommy Mooney (tough one, since Deeney is my all fave)

    Remember there are no right or wrong posts - it's all personal thoughts.

    In the time you've supported the club Clint Easton is in the top 4 midfielders?! Better than Abdi, Eustace, Nielsen, Tozser to name a few. It's all about opinions but seriously, Easton would be in many people worst side of all time!

    I suspect some female fans might like certain players for reasons other than their footballing abilities.



    And a few male fans (not that there's anything wrong with that)

    Is that because we've had crap full backs since Gibbo and Robbo? I was struggling with that area to be honest!

    Thanks for sharing these guys - interesting reads.

    Regarding Clint Easton, I sort of had a "crush" on him at one time, so how could I leave him out? ;)

    I wish I had seen Cotton in action myself, a lot of you chose him as keeper.

    I'll never forget the day he stopped the ball on the goal line and proceeded to dribble his way out of the penalty box, beating 2 attackers on his way, or dumping someone over the LGT wall

    Always a hero

    How about a powder puff Watford XI?

    The 11 most lightweight players, to field on a cold, rainy Tuesday evening in February away to Huddersfield.

    Fabbrini would definitely be leading the attack. Zuniga in CM are 2 from recent times. Neuton as CB ?
