Well, the jobs they did for the team may be in a completely different league, but for the service they have/had offered the club, I believe that they are both equal as right backs.
But I think that at the time the style of play was better suited to Watson, stick Calderon in our 00/01 team and I reckon it would take a lot for him to adapt. Same with Watson in the current era if he was the same age as Calde.
my first game was in '77 and hes the best ive seen . really fits in well with our current style under gus and is very versatile. looks like hes discovering his form from last season, where he was for me outstanding.
to think we had whing before him and he got player of the season!! shows how far weve come under gus and tony.
Watson was like an american football special teams player - great at free kicks and corners. However, for a defender the man just couldn't tackle so should never be considered as one of our great right backs.
Agree with the shouts for Ken Tiler although maybe John Gregory just shades him as he played right back for much of his Albion career.
Freekicks aside I never really rated Watson that highly. In fact when they read out our last title winning side it's striking how much better the current team is. But they had Zamora. Imagine Zamora in this side!
Not to run that great team down but without Bobby would they have won that second title? If you swapped the strike forces of the two eras?
