RamNut Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Wouldn't recognise him from that photo. quite liked him as a chairman but unfortunately it was at almost the lowest point in the history of the last 50 years. rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Watterson had an eventful spell as Chairman of Derby County Football Club in the early 1980s, which saw him bring Brian Clough's former assistant manager at arch rivals Nottingham Forest, Peter Taylor out of retirement to become manager of the Rams. Within a short period, Archie Gemmill and John Robertson had made the journey across from Forest. Battles in the boardroom and a growing hooligan fan problem led to Watterson leaving within a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboram Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah, I remember him being in charge when the Leeds & Chelsea fans ripped out the (wooden) seats in the Ossie Stand in consecutive weeks & slung them on the pitch. The mid eighties were dark days at the BBG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
