Watford name stand after former boss Taylor

Ex- Watford boss Graham Taylor is delighted at having a stand at Vicarage Road named after him. The 70 year old ex-England manager, who had two successful spells as Hornets manager, has also been Watford's chairman.

He was warmly greeted by supporters on Saturday as the Rous Stand was renamed the Graham Taylor Stand.

"In this day and age, when a stand is named after somebody it's for commercial reasons. I felt honoured," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.

In his first spell as Watford boss between 1977 and 1987, Taylor took the club from the fourth division to the top flight.
