They were at the U's about the same time, but Mick Packer stayed with us much longer than John. I didn't realise until checking the facts for myself, but John Williams, Mick Packer, Mike Walker and Brian Owen all played for Watford in their 1970 FA Cup Semi Final match against Chelsea - they lost 5-1 though... | |

Very sad, I remember John a very decent defender, I used to work with his daughter Jackie in the 1990s and early 2000’s. RIP John. | | | |
