  • My fondest memories retold

    I missed out on the original book but this perfect retelling made up for it all these years later. Just one of the most incredible football ‘fairytales’ told with brilliant detail, insightful interviews and so well interpreted. Thank-you all - it was an emotional journey reliving this transformative time in my early life.

  • Superb

    I was in two minds whether to listen to this as you sort of feel you have heard it all before. So glad I did, it’s outstanding.

  • Enjoy The Game

    As Watford fans we haven’t smiled that much in the last couple of years but this book / podcast brings those smiles flooding back. An absolute must for any Watford fan and it’s worth a listen for those who judge Graham Taylor solely on his England career - the man was a genius and was massively underrated by many - I miss him.
