Tales from the Vicarage - Volume 6: Rocket Men

0/5 ( ratings)

In the summer of 1977, Graham Taylor took over as manager of Watford, a Fourth Division club unremarkable except for their rock-star owner, Elton John. Within six years, Taylor had taken them into the top flight to finish as runners-up in the League, the second-best team in the land. Four heroes – goalkeeper Steve Sherwood, defender Ian Bolton, and strikers Ross Jenkins and Luther Blissett – played in all four divisions during that extraordinary journey. They were Taylor’s Rocket Men, the legends behind one of English football’s greatest feel-good adventures. This sixth volume of Tales From The Vicarage contains exclusive interviews with all four and charts the Hornets’ stratospheric rise through the divisions. With a foreword from John Barnes, who played his own part in the journey, Rocket Men is another fascinating collection for Watford supporters’ bookshelves. To honour the memory of Graham Taylor, £1 from every sale of the book will go to Kit Aid, a charity that Taylor was patron, in agreement with the family of Watford’s greatest manager.
