This week's trip down Vicarage Road memory lane salutes the qualities of this legendary striker watfordfc
Mark Evans salutes the qualities of Hornets legend Heidar Helguson as the Watford Observer again teams up with its friends at the Watford Treasury to share stories from previous issues of YBR! - Yellow Black & Red!
Our first million-pound purchase , Heidar was signed halfway through the 1999/2000 season, and I am sure anyone reading this will have positive memories of our Icelandic import.Whatever he did eat pre-match it must have given him high energy levels and extreme courage – he was willing to play with a bandage over a bleeding cut to his head in one memorable lionhearted display, and will always stand out as a player who truly gave his all for our club.
He was welcomed back to Vicarage Road on loan, and was still as popular as he had been in his first spell. He also had a short stopover at Bolton, and despite being dogged by knee and ankle problems he still managed a few goals. Heidar was able to play as a lone striker when required, although he could see red at times – I remember him running across the pitch to boot a West Brom defender who was showboating during a heavy defeat, but fans always respond to players who never give up, and a few bookings and the odd red are part of the make up for number nines.
