Ashley Young was outstanding for Watford in the first half of that season....He was second in the assists list till January, when he moved to Villa. But he took some time to settle in Villa.

King started well in that season before getting injured and was out for almost the entire season. I put him in my fantasy team during the start of the season and I had to move him out when he got injured. Thats why I still remember it...[:D]

Anyone who'd watched Watford play that season wouldn't be "hard pressed" to predict that they'd go on to greatness. Marlon King had been the highest scorer in the Championship the previous season and had shone early in the Prem campaign but busted his knee at Arsenal in September. Although he came back at the end of the season, he was never fit.

Ashley Young, however, as discussed above, Young excelled throughout the season until his January departure. Indeed, the promoted side had three players in it who never looked likely to return to the Championship - King, Foster and Young. King's six months at the start of last season was purely down to his injury, and well as he's doing now he doesn't have the pace that made him look every inch a Prem striker in the promotion campaign.
