Dave Watson (born October 5 1946) was a towering centre half. He started his career in the late 1960s, first with Notts County then with Rotherham United, but it was at Sunderland A.F.C. that he became famous.

Converted from centre forward to centre back by Bob Stokoe, he was part of Sunderland's 1973 FA Cup winning team and became established as an England international shortly after this, eventually winning 65 caps, sometimes as captain. He is the most capped England footballer never to play in the World Cup.

He later played for Manchester City, Werder Bremen, Southampton, Stoke City, Derby County then finally back to Notts County.

He is now a businessman.
