Watson, who is 76, is a regular at the Millers Memory Club, a monthly gathering for ex-players organized and hosted by John Breckin, a club legend and honorary life president, and a member of the United Kingdom's.

Princess Diana's (right) tragic death in 1997 brought the entire nation Kingdom into mourning, and only one sporting match was allowed to be played in the aftermath: a Super League game (inset) starring Australian NRL stars organised by Sir Richard Branson (pictured left with Diana). Her death stunned the world when the beloved Royal figure died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997; one of the first British government's first moves was to call off all sporting clashes that day.
