Gordon Watson
| Date of birth | 20 March 1971 |
| Place of birth | Sidcup |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 80 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Forward |
This well traveled frontman has been a constant source of goals ever since his introduction into the Sheffield Wednesday first team in the early 1990's. After four good years in Yorkshire Southampton paid more than a million pounds to secure Gordon's services and he repaid them by scoring some vital goals. A move back north to Bradford City proved to be a disappointment.
