Wilf Rostron - 9 days

Wilf kindly signed my 8x5 Watford card, and 4x6 photo. He had some trouble with the front of the photo, so also signed the reverse. Wilf is a legend at Watford, and one of my favourite players from the past. He was at the club from 1979 to 1989.

Many thanks to Rob for his help with this request.

Well done to you Nigel another Watfoed legend .

#2 - He did indeed play for Arsenal. App/goal stats shamefully lifted from wikipedia -

1973–1977 Arsenal 17 (2)

1977–1979 Sunderland 76 (17)

1979–1989 Watford 317 (22)

1989 Sheffield Wednesday 7 (0)

1991 Brentford 42 (2)

Total 495 (46)

Wilf was Watford captain in 1984, but robbed of his place in the cup final by a dubious red card decision in an away match at them up the m1 of all places. It would have been a different game had he played.
