Awayday Pod: Non-European Watford XI

From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

Show Notes

With no Watford match to dissect and a long trip to Sheffield on the horizon, Jon, Jordi and Jason decide to have a bit of fun instead . The boys kick things off with a Watford-themed version of "Play Your Cards Right", before attempting to build the ultimate Watford XI made up entirely of non-European players — those who were either born in, or represented, countries outside of Europe. Finally, Jordi unveils a brand new quiz game: “Who Was the Watford Manager When…?”

It might be a week without football, but there’s still plenty of Watford debate, nostalgia and questionable decisions along the way. Come and play along.

This is From The Rookery End.

Come on you ’Orns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
