Gordon Watson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on March 20, 1971 in Parkes, New South Wales, Australia. Gordon Watson (born 20 March 1971) is an English professional footballer who played forward.

On February 1, 1997, in three appearances for Bradford City, he suffered an injury to his right leg as a result of a collision that he made with Huddersfield Town defender Kevin Gray. The attack was described by the football pundit Jimmy Hill, as “late, dangerous and violent” and was among the most dangerous tackles he’d ever witnessed.

In August 1999 he signed for Bournemouth in an effort to rebuild his career but only made 11 league and cup appearances in the 1999–00 season, without scoring.

On expiry of his contract with Bradford City (now promoted to the Premiership) in June 1999, Watson declined the offer of a new contract explaining that he was not “fit enough or good enough to represent Bradford City in the top flight”.

In March 1995, after four years at Hillsborough, Watson was signed by relegation-threatened Southampton (under manager Alan Ball) for a fee of PS1,200,000.

He joined Sheffield Wednesday for a fee of PS250,000. There was an additional PS100,000 to be paid based on his appearances. The first time he played with Sheffield Wednesday in March of 1991. His last appearance with the club in the month of May in 1995. The striker scored fifteen goals over the 66 Football League appearances for them as well as scoring six goals in 21 appearances in different tournaments.

Watson was made Saints debut against Nottingham Forest on 18 March 1995. He scoring at Newcastle United in his home debut four days later , as the Saints scored from behind after 89 minutes, to win an “priceless” 3-1 victory. Watson continued to play in twelve Premier League appearances (scoring three goals) during the 1994-95 season when the Saints made it to 10th place in the table.

Alan Ball left The Dell at the end of the 1994–95 season, to be replaced by Dave Merrington. The 1995–96 season was a poor one for both the Saints (finishing in 17th place, just above the relegation zone) and Watson, with only three goals from 25 league appearances, with the goal-scoring being shared by Matthew Le Tissier and Neil Shipperley, with seven league goals each. For 1996–97, Saints appointed a new manager in Graeme Souness who brought in Egil Østenstad as first choice striker to play alongside Le Tissier, leaving Watson to make only the occasional appearance. His final appearance for The Saints was in a humiliating FA Cup defeat at Elm Park, Reading on 4 January 1997.
