A look back at some of images of goalkeeper Andy Rankin's career at Watford following his death at the age of 79.
Andy Rankin was Watford’s player of the decade in the 1970s.
That was view of Watford Treasury chairman Geoff Wicken when he reflected on the considerable contribution of the former Hornets goalkeeper who has died at the age of 79. Writing in an article in the Treasury which the Watford Observer republished in 2021, Geoff said: “To be a Watford supporter in the early and mid-1970s was, mostly, a dispiriting experience. The six seasons starting from 1971/72 saw almost continuous decline. There were two relegations, in 1971/72 and 1974/75, followed by two years of stasis in Division Four. Then everything changed. The turnaround inspired by Graham Taylor’s arrival brought the two consecutive promotions of 1977/78 and 1978/79.
