On a coincidentally sombre note, I see that Dave Watson has been diagnosed with a neo-degenerative disease, probably as a result of his heading the ball over many years. Becoming more and more common unfortunately. I suppose as a result of better diagnosis.  |

Dave Watson even named his house 'Status Quo' such was his obsession with the band.
The band became close to him and John Eden has recently mentioned about the time that he and Rick headed south to one of Dave's parties.
Francis doesn't do football at all but must have formed a connection with Dave as Francis took one of sons to see Dave playing for Southampton many years ago. Then Dave went to Rossi's manor to record together in his loft studio. Can't remember now if it was because Dave fancied himself as bit of singer or on guitar.
In that photo Rick is wearing the Man Utd kit of that year. I think he had got to know Steve Coppell who was in the Man Utd squad in that era.
