Hornets Alumni Soaring in the Premier League

As a die-hard Watford supporter, it’s bittersweet to see former Hornets excelling in the top flight, especially when the glory of reminiscence kicks in. The recent performances under Javi Gracia, though mixed with wins, draws, and a pesky loss against Birmingham City, have left us humming a tune of what might have been. Yet, it’s time to park that bus and marvel at some ex-Hornets who are hitting the high notes in the Premier League.

Former Watford Stars Shine Bright

We look at the likes of Joao Pedro, Richarlison, Danny Welbeck, and Ismaila Sarr, who are not just playing but thriving at the highest level. Currently, these players find themselves among the top scorers of the Premier League season. It's heart-warming and yet achingly nostalgic to think they once graced the pitch at Vicarage Road.

While it’s overly romantic to claim Watford crafted their paths, it's fair to say we nurtured their burgeoning talents. Pedro and Richarlison, in particular, owe a nod to their formative days spent with us, echoing the sentiment of 'Once a Hornet, always a Hornet'. Danny Welbeck, despite a minimal goal tally at Watford, is currently third on the top scorers list this season, stirring talks of an England comeback. Also, let's not forget Keinan Davis who is currently making waves in Serie A with Udinese.

Celebrating Successes, Past and Present

This reflection on past players serves as a reminder of our club’s knack for spotting and developing talent. As Watford fans, our hearts swell with pride at their achievements, even if it pokes at the tender question, "What if they had stayed?" However, part and parcel of football involves players moving on, and Watford has often excelled in making timely, beneficial decisions regarding transfers.

Looking Forward With Optimism

As we continue to support Gracia and the team through this season's highs and lows, let's carry this sense of pride forward. Seeing our former players thrive is a testament to the club's influence in their careers and the broader football landscape.

And to wrap up with a bit of humor directed at our main rivals: How many Luton Town fans does it take to change a light bulb? None! They're still living in the dark about how many Watford alumni are lighting up the Premier League!
