Photo: Action Images Numerous tributes have been paid to Glenn Roeder following his death at the age of 65 yesterday, but what has been a constant throughout is the recognition of his qualities as a person as well as a classy defender who became one of the top coaches of his generation. Roeder, who managed Watford from 1993 to 1996 having previously spent two seasons at Vicarage Road as a player, passed away following a long battle with a brain tumour. The Watford Observer’s long-serving Hornets correspondent Oliver Phillips has paid tribute to “a lovely man, a gentleman, a devotee of the beautiful game, knowing Glenn was an uplifting experience”, while another media colleague and friend Mike Vince described Roeder as “one of the most decent people I have ever worked with”.
