Having not made the trip to Hertfordshire the last couple of years, it’s always an away day that I look forward to. I spent some time working in Watford in the 1980s, had a number of good nights out there and have some great memories.
I can also remember the days when away fans would have to walk around a huge allotment to get into the away end at Vicarage Road. There is one standout match for me, the last game of the season in May 1992, which we lost 5-2 with our goals coming from an on-loan Arsenal striker that you may have heard of.
However, it wasn’t Andy Cole’s brace that lives long in the memory but the fact that we ended the game with eight men, following the sending off of the Three A’s – Wayne Allison, Ray Atteveld and Mark Aizlewood. What a day.
