Ted Lasso Wiki

Watford F.C. is an English professional football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire. They play in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football, and featured in the Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso.

Lifelong Watford supporter Elton John became club chairman in 1976. The singer declared an ambition to take the team into the First Division.

Watford's kit has changed considerably over the course of the club's history. After a change of colours to gold shirts and black shorts for 1959–60, the team's nickname was changed to The Hornets, after a popular vote via the supporters club. These colours remained until 1976, when Watford's kits started featuring red, and the gold was changed to yellow. That colour scheme has continued into the 21st century.

AFC Richmond achieves their first victory under new manager Ted Lasso against Watford. During the match, Jamie Tartt continues to make the match all about him and doesn't give a chance to other players. When Sam Obisanya falls down, instead of helping him, Jamie rolls him over and even walks over him, which makes Roy Kent angry and he fights Jamie on the field. In a risky move, Ted substitutes Jamie off the pitch with Robbie Roberts to act as a lesson for him.

Jamie angrily tells Ted off as the crowd boos, disliking the decision. However, Richmond goes on to win the game thanks to a fantastic pass from Roy and a goal from Sam. This proves Richmond could win games without Jamie, especially when the team could work together without any negative distractions.
