Dave Watson.

Saw his name mentioned on another thread,just thought to myself he maybe gets overlooked a little sometimes by our fanbase,what a great servant,player,leader,he had a difficult start to his career,but went on to win a title and FA Cup,for me though his greatest achievement was being one of our stellar performers in the early to mid 1990s when we had a terrible team but he shone like a beacon with his consistency and was also one of the true hard men of the era without ever shouting his mouth off about it,Thanks Waggy a true legend of our club.?

Great captain and leader. Would have ran through walls for Everton.

The exact opposite of Mina

 

[DRINGOSTAR]

Loved him ! Then his last season in preseason he said he’s still at the front in the running ! Then the league started ! Wow old age caught up with him in a few months ! But great for us throughout !

Waggy would make mincemeat out of Mina with his carry ons

Thought the worst there for a second. Mr. Everton I called him. What a pro.

…..saw him at Bellefield once, he had his kids with him and they were running riot a bit. He said to me his missus had told him to get them out of her way for a few hours.

Normal bloke who played his footy in the same uncomplicated way.

Now your talking

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Brilliant defender, I remember one derby match when all the pre match hype was about Owen and how fast he was and had just been the young star at that summer's World Cup and he was going to destroy Everton. Watson handled him brilliantly in a 0-0 draw and he barely got a kick just backed off him and defended the 18 yard box and left no space for Owen to run into and took away his best asset was really man against boy that afternoon.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Met him briefly once, really nice down to earth bloke.

Met him briefly once, really nice down to earth bloke.

Saw him at an after dinner event, the most normal bloke you`d ever meet.

Seemed quite a shy person too.

 

[Ivo]

Hard as nails. Only players harder than him that I've personally seen for the blues are Richard Gough and big Dunc

Yes, the very definition of "club legend". Perhaps not possessing of the quality to make a wider mark at international level, but most certainly a great for Everton in teams at the top and bottom of the table. A genuine Everton great - league champion, cup winner, relegation escapologist.
