PROFILE
The younger brother of former Everton player Dave Watson. A centre-half whose
highlight was a starting place in the Charity Shield against Wimbledon in the 1988/89
season. Alex has since made over 450 appearances in the lower leagues.
Alex made his League debut for Liverpool in a 1-0 win at Loftus Road in March 1988.
One more league appearance followed towards the end of that season plus a further two, one
as substitute, in the following season. He also made a further 4 appearances in FA cup and
League cup matches. The strength of Liverpool's squad at the time meant that his chances
of competing with established international players for a place in his club side were
extremely limited and it was no surprise when he left Anfield. Alex has enjoyed a good
career with a number of clubs, most notably with Bournemouth and Torquay and has played
over 500 matches in his career.
