Watford have rewarded fans who attended all 19 Premier League away games last season by sending them a new away shirt and a letter from skipper Troy Deeney thanking them for their support.

The gesture, which has been widely praised on social media, sees eligible supporters receive the Hornets’ new green away shirt.

Deeney’s letter reads: “I know some of you getting this might not be the type to wear replica shirts, but find a good home for it among family and friends and remind them that you are receiving it is attached to a lot of pride in our club.

“Supporting the biggest clubs in the country is easy, You don’t have to be there all the time – you can watch them on telly and say you’re a fan, It’s different with us and that’s why we wanted to let you know it matters.”
