This is a bit random but the Watson in the Carlisle team was Gary who had joined them from Oxford in the summer. When he was in the yoof team he and I used to travel in from Abingdon on the same bus to St Aldates where I got off to be a college servant and he continued up the Manor. We always had a natter. He made his debut as a 17 year old against reigning champions Forest in the League cup (when United lost 5-0 but he actually played quite well!) and despite it being the biggest game of his career so far he was still on the bus the next morning!
I think he had a couple of seasons at Carlisle before being released and he went to play in Australia for a while. Used to bump into him in The Ox where he told how mad it was flying to away games and playing in front of 20,000 crowds. It didn't work out though and he picked my brains about my own career change and ended up as a copper back in Carlisle! Last I heard he was CID and he must be due to retire soon.
As I said, random!
