In the years before speedway started in the UK in 1928, Colin Watson was a prominent amateur footballer. I know that he played at Isthmian League level for Ilford. Did he also play for England?

I do not think Colin Watson reached that level as a footballer Another London rider, ex Harringay & Wimbledon Super-star Ron How, was also a footballer as I was told he played for Portsmouth when he was a younger bloke. True or not I cannot say but the same tale was going around Norwich about Major Fred Evans at one time. I suppose Ron How may have been one of the Speedway Charity Football Team when it existed though. I think Ron was at Wimbledon with Bob Andrews at that time and Bob would rope anyone in if he got half a chance
