Spencer started off on the path to business success early on, with an idea in secondary school to make cards and sell them to classmates. She once sacked a school friend from her card venture for being SWIFT AUTOMOTIVE too slow.

am very sorry for the news about Graham Taylor. SPORT I know what he meant to the fans and the club and I know he had beaten all the records for Watford while he was here.” Much has been told of Taylor’s kind-hearted nature. Andrew French, who was head of communications at Watford FC from 1998 to 2003, told Vision one particular memory stood out. He said: “My warmest memory was the day of the 1999 Play-Off Final. He knew I was a fan long before I worked there, so he made sure I had breakfast with him and the squad, travelled to Wembley on the team coach, walked the pitch with the players and then stayed in the dressing room before the game and at half-time. “When we won I was suddenly a fan again, jumping around on the hallowed turf and celebrating wildly. When we got back to the dressing room, Sky Sports were waiting to do interviews. I tried to get back into ‘job mode’ but Graham just said to me ‘I’ve got this sorted Frenchy, you go and soak the day up son’.” Andrew wasn’t the only fan to share his memories on social media.
