12th August 2000- New Division One, Huddersfield Town 1 Watford 2 http://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches BBC Sport: Tommy Smith helped Watford to their first away victory since August 1999 at Huddersfield Town – and three precious points in the quest to make an immediate return to the Premiership. Sunday Telegraph, 13 Aug 2000 BSAD: So there’s no real feeling of excitement until the players emerge, the two goalkeepers followed by the rest of the squad and greeted by a huge ovation from an eager travelling support. Things are still relaxed, mind you – the McAlpine is far removed from the hype and general insanity of the Premiership, particularly in the way that the PA announcer rattles through the two teams in a dreary monotone, barely pausing to allow the two sets of fans to cheer their heroes. We provide our own pre-match build-up instead, rattling the roof with a rendition of “Elton John’s Taylor-made Army” that begins rustily, gathers pace and ends at full pelt. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2000-08-12 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-1/13-august-2000/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
