​Watford to honour late manager Graham Taylor

Watford are likely to hold a minute's applause in honour of former manager Graham Taylor who died today ahead of their home game with Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Taylor spent 15 years in charge of the Hornets over two spells, from 1977 to 1987 and then from 1996 to 2001.

He took them from the Fourth Division to the First and managed them to the 1984 FA Cup final

Watford will organise additional tributes, involving officials and supporters from the club, for the weekend.

In addition, the club say they are "inviting supporters to tweet their tributes to the club's most successful manager by using the hashtag #thankyouGT".
