Gwilym Hugh Evans

Inside-forward (1952-1953)

Player

Welshman Hugh Evans joined Watford when he was in business in Luton, where he had been brought up, and at that time had actually been training at Vicarage Road for about a year while playing for Walsall. He had a single mid-season run at inside-left in Watford’s first team and scored on his début, against Crystal Palace. After six more games and one more goal he was replaced by Jimmy Bowie, returning from absence caused by injury, and Evans didn’t appear in League football again.
