William Percy Miles

Centre-half (1929-1930)

Player

During his amateur days he scored nearly two hundred goals in four years and represented Hampshire, but in his third season at Dean Court he was converted into a centre-half. It was in that position that this six-footer made his Watford appearances, at a time when the regular pivot, Neil McBain, was being utilized as a forward. Miles was known to the Bournemouth following as ‘Dossie’.
