Part 2 of our exclusive with Wales manager and former watfordfc captain Robert Page, where he discusses Graham Taylor, Watford and his love for the Hornets
He was the greatest manager Watford have ever had, and Graham Taylor was also an important mentor to so many of those he coached and worked with.
Three of the big influences on Wales manager Robert Page: Luther Blissett, Graham Taylor and Kenny Jackett “But on the other side of it, how many times did we at Watford get taken to the Hilton Hotel just outside the town, go for an hour’s walk and end up in a pub garden where he’d already organised lunch.
“He was on a level with the players. He was honest and straight with us, and I really liked that about him.”“Watford is the first result I look for, even though I’ve not had a chance to see them play in person this season. I have the utmost respect for Watford Football Club, and I always will. “Thinking back players like David James, Jason Drysdale, Jason Soloman, Barry Ashby, Rod Thomas, they all came from the youth team and played in the first team. I loved that, and I wanted to be a part of it.”
“Against all the odds, we did it. I think our spirit caught Bolton off guard in the Play-Off Final, we had that attitude of feeling we could do anything.
