Watford FC will mark the seventh anniversary of Graham Taylor’s passing with the ‘Graham Taylor Matchday’ against Chesterfield this Saturday (January 6, 3pm KO).
The Emirates FA Cup third-round clash against the National League Spireites represents the nearest home matchday to the anniversary of the death of the Hornets’ greatest ever manager, in 2017.
GT - who led the club to five promotions, into Europe and to an FA Cup final during spells in charge between 1977 and 1987, as caretaker in 1996 and from 1997 to 2001 - left an everlasting legacy at Watford, and we will continue to pay tribute to his remarkable impact on both the club and the community.
Over the past few seasons, supporters have raised a scarf in Graham’s honour as the players have entered the field before kick-off, and Watford are delighted to continue this tradition in 2024.
Supporters are invited to hold their scarves aloft before the Chesterfield match commences, to pay tribute to GT and the fantastic work that continues in his name.
Ticket information for the game can be found HERE, with prices as low as £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £3 for Under-18s throughout the stadium.
And if you don’t yet own a scarf, there are plenty to choose from in-store at The Hornets Shop or online by clicking HERE.
