Gregg Watson |
Gregg Watson was born on Monday, 21st September, 1970, in Glasgow. The 5' 9½ (10st 9lbs) defender signed for John Lambie's Thistle on Saturday, 14th August, 1993 (after a trial period), having most recently been with Aberdeen. Aged 22, he made his debut appearance on Saturday, 24th July, 1993, in an 8-3 friendly win away to Ballyclare Commrades. That day, Gregg became a member of our scoring debutant's club. He scored the last of his 3 goals on Saturday, 29th November, 1997, in a 3-2 defeat away to Greenock Morton in the SFL First Division. He played his last game for the club on Wednesday, 2nd August, 2006, in a 2-2 draw at home to Celtic XI in a Benefit match, having clocked up 200 appearances as a Jag. Gregg's club-list included Aberdeen, Partick Thistle, Livingston, Stenhousemuir, Alloa Athletic and Linlithgow Rose. |
Was an early season arrival from Aberdeen in 1993 and, despite suffering a badly broken nose in a League Cup tie with Morton, he soon became a permanent fixture in the Thistle defence, remaining so for the next 5 years. Few players suffered the heartache of that dreadful relegation at Tannadice more than Gregg Watson did. Went on to play in the lower leagues after a spell at Livingston where he won a Second Division Championship medal. |
