Robert Page began his professional career with Watford, making his debut in 1993 against Birmingham City. It wasn’t until 1996 that Page established himself as a regular member of the starting XI and by 1997 he was appointed the club captain.
A dominant figure in the heart of the Hornet’s defence, Page captained the side to victory at Wembley in the 1999 play-off final, taking the Golden Boys to the Premier League for the first time.
Despite the disappointment of relegation in the campaign that followed, Page earned recognition for his performances, winning the Player of the Season award.
