John Watson
Date of Birth: 13-02-1959
Position: Striker
Joined:
Appearances: 194
Substitute Appearances: 20
Goals: 85
Nationality: Scottish
Previous Clubs: Hong Kong Rangers
Subsequent Clubs: Fulham, Airdrieonians
Born: Edinburgh
Debut: 17.12.1983 v Forfar Athletic (SLSD)
Last Game: 13.05.1989 v Meadowbank Thistle (SLFD)
Signed by Jim Leishman in 1983, his goalscoring over his six seasons at East End Park was one of the most important aspects of the Pars` rise from Second Division to Premier League. He scored 31 goals in 1985/86 as the Pars won the Second Division, the highest figure by a Dunfermline player since Alex Ferguson twenty years earlier.
The club`s top scorer again the following season as Dunfermline regained its status in the top flight, niggling injuries limited his appearances in the Premier Division but didn`t prevent him from scoring an unforgettable goal that helped knock Rangers out of the Scottish Cup.
Another crucial strike came against Meadowbank in 1988/89, his last goal in what turned out to be his last match for the Pars and one that earned the club promotion again.
