Live coverage of Lloyd Doyley’s testimonial between Watford and Tottenham Hotspur.

A decent turnout for a pre-season game, it’s reasonable to suppose that few were left on the edge of their seats by the spectacle. That’s what pre-season games are like of course, the pace tends to be rather lacking irrespective of the score or the standard… but limited as the excitement was, we acquitted ourselves reasonably well in the first half.

30th July 2005- Alec Chamberlain’s Testimonial Match, Watford 1 Charlton Athletic 2

A Francis Jeffers penalty and a Danny Murphy free-kick ensured victory for Charlton in a testimonial for Watford goalkeeper Alec Chamberlain.

BSAD report: Reading the souvenir programme once again impressed on me the wisdom of his signing, for a relative pittance, and how often his steadying presence has helped us.

24th May 2003- Watford FC Testimonial Day

In response to the financial troubles that led to the club selling and then leasing back Vicarage Road, Luther Blissett organised a special testimonial day which featured a game between a ‘Watford and International XI’ and a ‘Herts Select XI’.

3rd August 2002-Nigel Gibbs Testimonial, Watford 0 Tottenham Hotspur 1

This was Nigel’s second testimonial match. The first was on 4th August 1993- Nigel Gibbs Testimonial, Watford 1 Queens Park Rangers 1

BSAD report: We all needed this, I think. A very Watford day, really. Much as the occasion was in honour of Nigel Gibbs, a very Watford person, the benefit was shared with typical generosity. Here, we brought a traumatic summer to an end, we thumped the full stop key to halt a particularly complicated, grammatically-chaotic sentence. And it felt, well, all right again.

Graham Taylor and David Pleat chose to play full strength sides in Ross Jenkins testimonial despite the fact that both had a season defining game just four days later.
