Golden Tales | Episode 7 | Danny Graham
2332

In the latest edition of the official club podcast Golden Tales, Danny Graham talks in great depth about those two campaigns when everything he touched turned to gold. He scored 14 in his first season and then 27 in his second, which was the most by anyone in a Hornets shirt since Luther Blissett took the old Division One by storm in 1982/83.

In a near 40-minute conversation, Graham says how he left Vicarage Road with a heavy heart and reveals the two other managers he spoke to before joining Brendan Rodgers at Swansea City. And, of course, he talks table tennis and that vest. Danny Graham only spent two seasons at Vicarage Road and wasn't part of a trophy-winning side or any sort of promotion bid. So it speaks volumes for the impact he had between the summers of 2009 and 2011 that he is a Hornets Ambassador alongside some of the club greats.
