It will be fitting if all football games in England this weekend pay tribute to Graham Taylor.
An honourable and dignified man, he deserves the accolades that will undoubtedly follow in the days ahead.
One of my betting tips this weekend focuses on where he began to make a real name for himself as a manager.
There will be barely a dry eye in the house at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Bromwich Albion (January 14, 20:30 GMT+8)
After a superb festive period, culminating in victory over leaders Chelsea, Spurs go in search of another win to continue their pursuit of a top two finish.
Their players are rested, many of them for 10 days after some of the big names missed their FA Cup success against Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, the Baggies are cursing their failure to see off Derby in the same competition, despite a fine run of league form which has taken them up to eighth.
Let’s not forget, it was West Brom who all but ended their title bid last May.
As much as they will battle, I feel Spurs will wear them down in a hard fought contest.
I’m going for Total Goals 2-3 @ 2.00 as a 🌟🌟 bet.
Burnley vs Southampton (January 14, 23:00 GMT+8)
Burnley at home are proving a tough nut to crack.
In fact, they have only lost three of their 11 matches at Turf Moor so far.
Southampton will threaten that but, in truth, after their vibrant, rejuvenated showing in the League Cup semi-final in midweek, will they have the energy?
Unlikely I feel. That is why I’m going for 2 x 🌟🌟🌟 tips of Asian Handicap 0.00 Burnley @ 2.53 and under 2.25 goals @ 1.81.
Watford FC vs Middlesbrough (January 14, 23:00 GMT+8)
The football will be very much a secondary event at Vicarage Road.
The visit of Middlesbrough will surely see everyone connected with the Hornets remember their greatest ever manager and their finest ever achievements.
How fitting it would be if they can return to winning ways after failing to muster a league victory since December 10.
To honour his memory and the massive outpouring of affection, how about this 🌟🌟 tip of Asian Handicap -0.50 Watford @ 2.51.
