ABOUT ENJOY THE GAME
In summer 1977, Elton John and Graham Taylor drew up a ten-year plan to reach the First Division. They did it in five.
In the 1980s, Watford took on and beat the big boys. Who can forget the 7-1 win over Southampton, or the 4-1 thrashing of the European champions Nottingham Forest in the League Cup? What about the day Sunderland were humiliated 8-0?
Watford finished runners-up in the Football League, beaten only by Liverpool. They played in Europe for the first and only time and reached the FA Cup final at Wembley.
This was the decade when dreams kept coming true. We thought it could last for ever…
Whether you were there every step of the way or not, this book will give you a fresh insight into a fantastic period.
Author Lionel Birnie has travelled the country, tracking down the players and management who made it happen. From more than 50 exclusive interviews, he has pieced together the inside story of the Eighties.
If you thought you knew your history, prepare for some surprises…
