True, although you could argue that stumbling upon the most talented British player of that generation was a fairly major factor in his success at Watford.
Taylor even gave him his professional debut, I think. Scored about 100 goals for them too.

Rightly so. Back in vem days we could expect to get to a quarter final. Dizzy heights.
Obviously one might say similar things about Arsene.
