Watford Academy Under-18’s squad have added their support to a walk celebrating the 30th anniversary of the club’s charity in honour of Graham Taylor.

The Taylor Trek is taking place on Sunday, September 25 and it is set to bring together fans, Hornets legends, beneficiaries and families for a walk around Watford and the surrounding areas.

The fundraising event has been put together by the club’s charity, the Watford Community Sports and Education Trust, alongside their patrons, the Taylor family, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the trust in honour of the club’s greatest ever manager who started it all.

There are three routes available with varying lengths and all have been devised with the support of Watford Museum and will pass the key sites of Graham Taylor’s Hornets history.

Former player and current Academy director Richard Johnson said: “Watford Football Club has a long tradition of being a family club and it is something we want to make sure the next generation of players understand.

“That’s why we were keen for our under 18s to take part in The Taylor Trek and help raise funds for our community through the work of Trust.”

Richard, alongside the fellow former player and current Academy head of technical development Jimmy Gilligan, will also be joining the players on The Taylor Trek.

All money raised from The Taylor Trek will go towards the Trust and their continued efforts to make a positive difference for all through sport, physical activity and learning.

Alongside the youth squad, several Watford FC supporters and supporter groups have also signed up. Young people from the Trust’s social inclusion project Premier League Kicks, are also registered to take part in what promises to be a true community event.
