Dave Watson...sad news

[molthemackem]

Dave Watson was a magnificent centre back, right up there with Hurley for me, and he was only shaded as man of the match in the 73 final (IMO) by Monty's stupendous performance. Watson's defending, positioning and reading of the game in the final was quite brilliant.
I also have fond memories of his early days at the club when he played centre forward...he was a class act there, too, and linked up so well with Billy Hughes and Denis Tueart.
This is just too sad for words.

Now your showing you are mentioning where he started for the Lads

Sad news. "Big Dave" was magnificent, up there with the very best IMO.
