Steve Watson special

Hospital Ball

Steve Watson made his pro debut for Newcastle and achieved the record of being their youngest ever debutant aged just 16, a record that still stands. That was the start of a journey that saw him play over 550 career games for Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Brom and Sheffield Wednesday. Here Steve reflects on his playing career including looking back at many iconic Premier League and Champions League games before bringing the conversation round to his managerial career where he is the current York City manager and bidding to lead the club out of the National League North. Steve looks back on his time at the club so far and his thoughts on the near miss for promotion in 19/20 where the club lost in the play-offs having missed out narrowly due to PPG.
