THE OPPOSITION VIEW - QPR (Home)

In part 2 we look at the 1998/99 Season in detail. Peter gets his 6's and 7's and all mixed up, we discover Alan Smarts middle names but most of all we find out about a group of players coming into the Championship and not being fancied to do well who with hard work, determination, impeccable leadership and a team bond went on to create history - if that isn't a big enough metaphor for this season then we don't know what is! Some people say that you should never meet your heroes. Those people haven't met Tommy Mooney. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Few players have been taken to the hearts of Watford fans as quickly or so intensely as Tommy Mooney. He was kind enough to give us an entire evening. In Part 1 we discuss his early football days in the North East, how when Graham Taylor released him from Aston Villa he had a grin from ear to ear, his time at Scarborough and Southend including a bust up with a manager (but definitely not a Mayor!) before his transfer to Watford - his thoughts on the characters at the club, and we go through the first promotion year 97/98 of the second GT era including an interesting tactical innovation during a testimonial game. Plus Tommy talks us through how to sign a mural and explains how he was name checked by a certain Sir Elton John at a concert. Part 2 on the way soon will pick up at the start of 98/99 season.
