A Scottish Cup winner with Motherwell in 1952. An experienced inside forward with two Scotland caps both v Northern Ireland, Jimmy Watson was brought to East End to supply the craft and guile needed to take the Pars back up to the First Division.

A player who believed in letting the ball do the work, Jimmy`s subtle touch and sublime passing were impressive as were his 35 goals, including four hat-tricks. One last season at the top level followed before he hung up his boots, his final game being the remarkable 10-1 victory over Partick Thistle.

Died 11 April 1996.
