This week's trip down Vicarage Road memory lane remembers one of the most mundane fixtures in Hornets' history watfordfc
The Watford Observer has once again teamed with its friends at the Watford Treasury to share stories from previous issues of YBR! - Yellow Black & Red!It’s November 21, 1989 and Watford are about to begin their Zenith Data Systems Cup campaign at Ipswich Town. Interest in Hertfordshire is hardly fanatical, there will be no club coach and even my most loyal Hornet chums are swerving the game so there will be no lift.
Time clouds the memory but I remember boarding and being allocated a seat at the front just behind the manager, chief executive Eddie Plumley and the rather stern Tom Walley, who really must have wondered how a non-playing wally had infiltrated the world he was part of. We then travelled to Portman Road where I was ushered out of the dressing room before the team talk. Whatever was said, it couldn’t have been very inspiring... This was a Watford side in freefall, and 5,078 fans saw us lose 4-1. Even in my naive youth I realised it was going to be a crap journey home.
