Can you spot yourself on the Family Terrace in this picture from Vicarage Road during the 1980s?
Thanks to the Watford Treasury who have been digging through the archives, we are pleased to take you on a trip down memory lane to what is widely recognised as the golden era in the club's history when Graham Taylor led the Hornets to the promised land, runners-up in the old First Division, into Europe and into the FA Cup final for the first time.
As the image of the Family Terrace shows, it was also the decade when Watford rose to prominence off the pitch as the first community club thanks to so munch groundbreaking work that was done off the pitch with the club's late, great manager driving it forward.
Scroll down this page and enjoy looking back at some pictures you may not have seen for some years as we recall the club's trip to China and the players enjoying some lighter moments away from the pitch.

Yellow Black & Red! is a new monthly publication from The Watford Treasury.
Lighter in tone, it's a look at our love of Watford from a more personal perspective than found within its 'bigger brother'. As one would expect from The Watford Treasury, it is rich in imagery and features some fantastic writing.
Available from the Hornets Shop, Watford Museum or mail order (post free) YBR! is priced at just £3 and is sure to interest any Watford supporter.
