We will receive 4500 tickets. Should be a good day and good tribute to him. 90 minutes of Graham Taylor's claret and blue army.

Maybe "there's only one Graham Taylor" might be more appropriate, so both teams can join in.

Happy for it to be at Watford. Hopefully we ditch our irritating recent habit of having away friendlies on stupid days. Get it played on a Saturday and get the big support that SGT deserves.

totally agree...I shall be there !

Watford did these window boards as a tribute and are now auctioning them off with proceeds being split between a couple of Graham's favourite charities. I know they are Watford but just in case anyone is interested just search "Graham Taylor window board" on ebay, just under 3 days left on all 8 items.

Well deserved and well done to Watford. It isn't the best likeness in the world but I have seen plenty worse statues of football figures over the years.

Reading the summary of what he achieved at Watford, Villa and then Watford second time around always really brings it home how great his achievements were.

I am very proud of the framed picture I have in my living room of myself and Nev with SGT and Nigel Spink at Spink's testimonial Q&A forum in early 1988.

A fitting tribute to a fantastic man. I only hope that we can honour our greatest ever manager in the same way someday soon.

Can we change this thread title to something more fitting/respectful? Something like Sir Graham tributes.

Became our manager 30 years ago today.

He was appointed on the same day as I left school (apart from having to go back in on occasions for my O' level exams). I ducked into a supermarket to avoid the eggs and flower fights and saw the headline on the front page of The Mail.
