Colin Bateman

Full-back (1954-1957)

Player

The younger of two brothers, Colin Bateman both arrived at and left Vicarage Road a year after Ernie, whom he followed from and to the same clubs either side of his Watford service. A fair-haired right-back with a powerful kick, he had good runs in the first team, but then, after becoming a part-timer at the same time as his brother in 1956, made only two senior appearances in his final two seasons with the club.
