120-year-old Watford FC handbook and trailblazing Cother Brothers

The Watford FC handbook from the 1899-1900 season. Picture: Watford Museum The Watford Observer has teamed up with Watford Museum and its curator Sarah Priestley to take a journey back to the town’s past through items or places of historical significance. We ve reached item 32 in a history of Watford 50 objects and it comes from the museum s extensive collection relating to Watford FC - a handbook for the 1899/1900 season which Sarah says is full of fascinating detail and particularly interesting to me for the entry it includes about John (also known as Jack) Cother. John and his brother Edwin, who also played for Watford, were of Indian heritage. They were the first players of colour to play for Watford, and the first South Asian professional footballers in the country. We think of Watford as a diverse town today, with many cultures and heritages adding to our community, but this handbook shows that diversity isn’t such a recent thing in Watford.

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.

When Watford FC faced Preston North End and Tom Finney in the FA Cup

Do you know why the Preston programme was printed without a date? Credit: Phil Hayes Phil wrote: “Although it gets a brief mention in the article that PNE were a Second Division side, it should be noted that they could still call on the skills of the great Tom Finney. So the win against them in the replay at Deepdale was pretty good. Born in Preston, Finney played from 1946 to 1960 and was noted for his loyalty to his hometown club, for whom he made more than 550 appearances. He was twice voted Footballer of the Year, becoming the first player to win the award more than once, while he scored 30 times in an England career that lasted 13 years and was rewarded with 76 caps.

When Watford FC faced Ajax in their first match in Europe

Richard White tells the story of Watford’s first European venture. As many Watford fans are doubtless aware, the Hornets’ first-ever competitive European fixture was played at Kaiserslautern in the UEFA Cup. This was on September 14, 1983. However, Watford’s first venture to play abroad took place nearly 50 years earlier, when a friendly match was arranged with Ajax of Amsterdam on Sunday, September 8, 1935. The Ajax trainer was Englishman Jack Reynolds, who had played 29 times as a forward for Watford in the 1907/08 season, before embarking on a coaching career that saw him lift Ajax from being just another Amsterdam team in the Dutch second division, to winning five Dutch national championships as trainer/coach with Ajax in the 1930s.
