Dave Watson - 75 Years Old Today (Born 05/10/1946)

Dave played for Sunderland between 1970 and 1975.
He also played 65 times for England.
Dave signed for Sunderland as a centre forward but it was Bob Stokoe who took over in 1972 and made him centre back.
In 1973 we won the FA Cup :red-white:

Happy birthday Dave :cheers:

I think he did captain Sunderland but he definitly captained England a few times.
One of the best.

If he was the captain of England then in all likelihood he would have captained Sunderland ;)
