Parents of Captain Tom Sawyer:
Dear Chesterfield FC
Watford FC v Chesterfield FC Saturday 6th January 2024.
We are the proud parents of Captain Tom Sawyer RA 29 Cdo KIA Afghanistan 14-1-2009 who was honoured at Watford FC on Saturday 6th January at Half Time during their game with Chesterfield. Tom was Watford born and bred and an avid Watford Supporter from childhood. We just wanted to thank your Supporters for the respect and amazing support they showed during the photo montage and speeches – at one point even breaking into a rendition of “There’s only one Captain Sawyer” which was such an emotional highlight for all Tom’s family and friends present.
Your Supporters were an absolute credit to their Team and their Club throughout the Game and especially for us as a family.
With very kind regards
Sue and Martyn (Sawyer)
Message from the Watford operations team:
On behalf of the Watford F.C. Operations team I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Chesterfield F.C. who were involved with the arrangements for the game and to your fans for making last Saturdays game an enjoyable day for all who attend the game.
Your fans were impeccably behaved and are credit to both Chesterfield F.C. and the National League. It was a pleasure to have your fans at our ground on Saturday.
I am sure you are all disappointed about the result but from we saw I am sure Chesterfield will be back in the EFL next season.
Again, thank you to everyone involved with Chesterfield F.C. for making last Saturday an enjoyable game and we wish you all the best for the rest of the season.
