SUPPORTING SIX

KEVIN WATSON

Ball-playing central midfielder Kevin Watson came up through the ranks at the Club and was handed his senior debut from the start in our League Cup second round, first leg clash with Brentford at White Hart Lane in September, 1992.

He marked the occasion with a goal in what turned out to be a 3-1 win before being substituted for the late, great Justin Edinburgh: “It was a Gordon Durie cross that came over and I headed it in. Funnily enough it was the only header I have ever scored!” he once recalled.

Nicknamed ‘Chipper’ – a moniker given to him by our former goalkeeper Kevin Dearden, with the midfielder constantly trying to chip him in training – Watson made eight first team appearances for us between 1992 and 1993, and also played in all four of our ill-fated Intertoto Cup fixtures in the summer of 1995.

He spent a brief spell on loan at Brentford in 1994 towards the beginning of Dearden’s lengthy stint at Griffin Park and later represented the likes of Rotherham United, Reading and Colchester United with distinction. Most recently manager of non-league Ebbsfleet United, he’s been virtually ever-present in our Legends team over the last decade along with the likes of David Howells, Stuart Nethercottand Mark Falco.
