Thats fantastic!

Seeing your age on your profile reminded me that the 40th anniversary of this game will soon be with us.

PS "Scully" deserved his place in the list of our all time greats.

St John looks a bit fat here. He could barely run!

I saw Watford play Leicester at the end of January 1970. The atmosphere at Vicarage Road was immense.

@999DaveUK Hi Dave, I am firstly a Watford fan but my favourite other team is Liverpool. Expected them to beat Newcastle at the weekend, what a dissappointment ! But Watford beat QPR 3 : 1 away - that was a surprise.

@annie48able As a Liverpool fan I was there on that day to see us get beaten. After this game, Shankly broke up the 60s team and rebuilt with the likesof Clemence, Lloyd, Heighway, etc. The rest is history. Thanks, Watford for being a part of my teams greatness.

Just watched this, I used to be there at Vicarage Road, I was there in 1970. Stewart Scullion was a great winger, I'm sure he should have been playing in the top division. Strangely I am married to a Liverpool supporter - he hates me mentioning this match !
