13th August 1969- League Cup First Round, Watford 2 Lincoln City 1

This would be the final time that Graham Taylor lined up to face Watford. His playing career ended at Lincoln when he sustained a serious hip injury in 1972 and shortly afterwards he was appointed their manager. Eight years to the day after this game he’d take charge of his first competitive Watford match.
