Sir Graham Taylor

I'd have liked it if they'd have told us who the players were.

I don't know about that to be honest. Maybe the kind of thing that's done at a testimonial or something rather than the remenberence of soneone passing.

Some kind of screen montage would have been good.

Watford managed a crowd display with less time to organise it too.

I wonder if that was part of the problem. Theirs had the feel of spontaneity when the shock and grief surrounding his death was still evident whereas ours was old news.

It was a bit underwhelming but the 72 minute thing with the lights was fantastic and a very impressive sight.

Great images, PWS.

I remember when I fell really ill and was out of commission for a while. I decided this was an opportunity to catch up with letter-writing and got to it.

One man I wrote to was GT, as he was doing really well back at Watford. Needless to say, to those who have read this thread, he replied in full. He once wrote to say that the reception he got from the Holte/whole crowd when he came back with Watford in 2000 was one of the proudest days of his life.

What a great bloke! I still can't really believe that he's gone.

Someone on (I think) Facebook mentioned that.

Poor form if true.

I would imagine that some of the staff who worked with him and are still here now were there.

I know Steve Stride went.  Not sure about Doug though.
