20th August 1977- Division Four, Stockport County 1 Watford 3

100 Greatest Watford Wins- No.58: If anyone had told you that this was to be the start of a journey that would take the club to the First Division, the FA Cup final and into Europe, you would have questioned their sanity. But this is where it all began. At Edgeley Park in Stockport, in front of three thousand people. The match was no classic though. One of Stockport’s directors described Watford afterwards as ‘not a bad rugby team’.
