Alex Watson
| Date of birth | 05 April 1968 |
| Place of birth | Liverpool |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 83 kg |
| Height | 1.85 m |
| Position | Defender/Centre back |
Younger brother of Everton defender Dave Watson, he made just 9 appearances for Liverpool.
Perhaps distracted by his role as assistant- manager of a struggling team Alex never quite seemed to hit the high standards he had previously shown for Torquay during the 2000-01 campaign. He eventually lost his place following the defeat at Halifax towards the end of February and his only subsequent appearance was when he came off the subs' bench for the final minutes of the vital last-day encounter at Barnet. A commanding central defender who is good in the air he compensates for a certain lack of pace with an ability to read the game well.
