This is the programme from the first competitive floodlit game played at Plainmoor having just had the new lights fitted at a cost of £9,000. The previous ones, as used for the friendlies in seasons gone by, were not adequate for game such as this.
The result was 2-2 with goals from Colin Court & Colin Bettany who made up a trio of three Colins' playing in the United team along with Colin Rawson.
Number 3 was Harry Smith, playing his first game of the season in place of Dennis Penford whilst Brian Handley was in at number 9 instead of Tommy Northcott.
The attendance was 6,419 which wasn't much more than many games in the season, indeed it was down on quite a number.
Discussions on the Plainmoor floodlights can be fully viewed in the History Room.
One piece of interest to me personally is to see Sammy Chung in the line-up for Watford as he was the father of a friend of mine, Tim Chung, from my days working in Harrods in London. Actually I was more friendly with Tim's girlfriend Karen!
The last I heard of him he was in the Twin Towers when they got hit and his account of the attack became one of the better known and trusted.
