Memories of Watford career of a Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal great

By David Harrison Pat Jennings shows off those giant hands which were to serve him so well during his career The Watford Observer has again teamed up with its friends at The Watford Treasury to share stories from previous issues. David Harrison looks at a true Watford treasure, although his tenure at the club was all too brief. Watford have been blessed throughout the modern era (not unreasonably defined here as the period I can remember), with outstanding goalkeepers. Tony Coton remains the best I’ve seen at The Vic, but Andy Rankin, Steve Sherwood, David James, Kevin Miller and Alec Chamberlain were all Watford goalkeepers of distinction. Current players are excluded from a retrospective piece, but no doubt both Heurelho Gomes and Ben Foster will earn a place in that list.

Memories of legendary Watford FC striker Cliff Holton

The Watford Observer has again teamed up with its friends at The Watford Treasury to share stories from previous issues. David Harrison recalls Cliff Holton, a man who really was entitled to be called a true Watford great You’ll need to bear with me. This is a tricky assignment. I’m in no doubt I collected the Big Fella brief as the only member of the Treasury editorial group old enough to have seen Cliff Holton in his prime. And yes, I saw him play on a good few occasions. Probably 20-odd times while in his majestic pomp and another half-dozen or so when he returned, for a six-month cameo, at the twilight of his career. By then Cliff was 36, a little thicker around the midriff and, while still a prolific scorer, no longer the player he’d been five years earlier.
