The 2014-15 campaign delivered a sensational return to the top flight for Watford as The Hornets, despite a turbulent season that saw four different head coaches, surged to a spectacular 2nd-place finish in the Championship and secured automatic promotion to the Premier League. Leading the charge was the talismanic captain Troy Deeney, whose 21 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on an incredible late run of form and culminating in a dramatic promotion sealed against Brighton.
