Watford FC

Watford are a Championship football club based at Vicarage Road and managed by Sean Dyche. Founded in 1881, the Hornets won promotion to the Premier League in 1999 only to be relegated the following season. They nearly returned to the top division in 2008 but were defeated by Hull City in the play-off semi-finals. Former manager Graham Taylor is the club's chairman and Elton John is a life president.
