About this book

“If Knockaert, who won the penalty, scores it, Leicester City go to Wembley and it’s the end for Watford. Knockaert takes, Almunia saves! Knockaert follows in, Almunia saves again! Absolutely astonishing. Now here come Watford. Forestieri, here’s Hogg…Deeney! Do not scratch your eyes – you are really seeing the most extraordinary finish here.”

To many Watford fans, this moment is the most ecstatic they’ve ever seen the crowd at Vicarage Road. But there are many other great moments in the club’s history that are well worth reliving. This book charts Watford’s footballing journey from 1929 up to recent seasons, through authentic newspaper reports from the time. Fans will reminisce about the decades the Hornets spent in the doldrums of the lower tiers, their long ascent to the top flight, heart-breaking relegations, glorious promotions and much more.
