In 1977 Graham Taylor and Elton John drew up a ten-year plan to steer Watford Football Club from the depths of the Fourth Division to the top flight.
They did it in five.
The Hornets took on and defeated the giants of English football in the Eighties. They were runners-up to Liverpool in the Football League, they played in Europe, and reached the FA Cup final at Wembley for the first time.
Enjoy the Game by Lionel Birnie, published in 2010, is a book that tells the story of that incredible decade based on dozens of interviews with the players and management who made it happen.
Now, for the first time, it's available as an audio series, read by Watford supporter, actor and voice artist Colin Mace.

'Right foot or left, Cally could drive it in, float it in or curl it. Brilliant'
A portrait of an icon, one of the most mercurial homegrown talents in the club’s history. Nigel Callaghan was often not appreciated as much as his teammate on the other wing, John Barnes. But Callaghan's ability to cross a ball made him one of the most effective wide players in the game. But Callaghan and Graham Taylor sometimes failed to see eye to eye and despite his brilliance, there was a sense that he could have achieved even more.
Enjoy the game by Lionel Birnie. Read by Colin Mace. Produced by Jon Moonie.
