George Charles Catleugh
Wing-half (1954-1964)
A popular workhorse who gave Watford eleven seasons of full-hearted commitment, mostly at right-half, having come to the club’s notice when in opposition as the only amateur in Nuneaton Borough’s convincing FA Cup win in 1953. George Catleugh’s career ended when he suffered a broken leg while playing for Folkestone Town against Barnet – a repetition of the injury sustained during his Watford service in 1962. (His surname was pronounced locally as “Catlow”, but this error almost certainly arose from a misinterpretation of the County Durham-born player’s accent in enunciating “Catlew”.)
