William Watson (footballer, born 1873)

William Watson (19 April 1873 – 29 September 1929) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Career
Watson played club football for Dykehead, East Stirlingshire and Falkirk.

He made one appearance for Scotland in 1898; though largely raised in Shotts, Watson was born in north-east England, which should have disqualified him (and Ireland-born teammate James McKee) from being selected under the rules of the time.
