Charity staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, and Watford FC legends and academy players participated in a charity walk around Watford and surrounding areas on Sunday in memory of Watford FC manager Graham Taylor.
The third instalment of the Taylor Trek began and finished at Vicarage Road Stadium, with the event, sponsored by Mercer & Hole and Abbey Roofing, raising awareness and funds for two charities: Watford Football Club’s Community Sports and Education Trust, and Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care.
Watford's greatest manager, who drove the family and community values of Watford FC - alongside then-chairman Sir Elton John - was himself a patron of both the benefitting charities.
The walk's three routes varied in length, but all encompassed key points of Taylor’s Hornets’ history, such as Watford Town Hall, Meriden Community Centre, and Cassiobury Park.
The Trust’s current patrons, the Taylor family, were on hand to award those completing the trek with their medals and goody bags.
Further sponsorship was provided by Wenzels, ASDA Watford, Watford’s Tesco Extra, PRIME, and Sports and Trophies, who provided the medals.
