Happy Birthday Dave Watson

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Shit, I thought it was Rick Parfitt in that picture...:)

Very true though; England had some great maverick players at that time: Tony Currie, Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh, Frank Worthington etc...loved watching those fellows play. At least the few highlights that we got back in Ireland in the '70's...;)

Alan Hudson and Duncan Mackenzie - who didn't even get a cap!

One of the best and one of my favourite City players of all time

Happy birthday big man

I wonder if Dave had rode to Wembley on his bike that day :-)

Legend. May Dave have many more

That header against Ipswich in 1977!

It went in like a volley. Never seen a harder headed goal before or since.

Loved Tony Currie playing.for England (centre).
He should have played Again and Again but didn't get as many caps as his talent deserved.

Hence my pun in my post saying Currie should have played "Again and again" for England ;)

City’s rock and by fuck when he headed a ball, it stayed headed…!! They didn’t play with balloons in his day either….. Happy Birthday Big Dave..
