Former Watford stars will be at Yellow and Red Lion 'grand reopening'

The Yellow and Red Lion pub will have its "grand opening" on Monday.
The pub reopened on match days on April 6, after closing in 2006, but will now be welcoming punters from 11am to 11pm every day after Monday, when it will open from midday.
Former players Luther Blissett, Nigel Callaghan, Ian Bolton, Steve Terry, Allan Smart and Derek Payne are expected to be among those at the Yellow and Red Lion on Monday, when there will be a hog roast and mini ale festival.
Watford FC decided to have the "grand opening" on Monday in time for England's campaign at the European Championships - their first game is against France at 5pm - and the club will be doing special promotions based on how Roy Hodgson's men perform.

Derek Payne, will he be able to see over the bar? Will they need to ask him for proof of age?

I liked him, but maybe yes it is rose tinted glasses. The memory aint what it used to be, and it was never that great
