Terrible news. RIP.

[Lifelong supporter]

Really sad news.
I met him a couple of times and he was just a supporter like the rest of us and a really nice guy.

[ridgewoodrover]

Was just talking at work today how lucky we are with the people in charge of our beloved club, really sad news .

The last decade or so wouldn't have been possible without Dick playing his part with TB and JR. Thanks for everything Dick.

[PDX_Rover]

VERY sad news for Dick's family, friends, the town and of course Rovers and Club Doncaster. I know he had been having heart problems for a while but still a shock. Condolences to his family for their great loss. Thank you for all that you have done for our beloved club. Truly steadied the ship and provided some amazing memories for all of us.

RIP sir.

RIP Dick, very sad news

[silent majority]

Extremely sad news to hear of the passing of Dick, our current President, but still a true Rovers fan like the rest of us. Without his contribution most of our recent memories and accomplishments of the last 10 years would not have been possible. But much more than that he was a true gent and we will be poorer for his passing.

Our thoughts are with his family at this moment in time. RIP.

[Jonathan]

Very sad news. I hope he knew how much he was appreciated by so many. He's been brilliant for this football club.

[Dagenham Rover]

Really sorry to hear, condolences to all his family and Thank You for everything

[Herbert Anchovy]

Very sad news indeed. We all have an awful lot to thank him for, probably more than we'll ever realise. I had a very brief chat with him a few years ago and he was a very nice chap who seemed to be Rovers through and through. Thanks for everything Dick.

[RobTheRover]

Received the news this afternoon and was completely in shock. Rest in peace, Dick. A truly lovely man who's passion for the Rovers could never be diminished.

Deepest commiserations to the Watson family.

[George Carter]

Rest in peace,, dick. A good guy!!!!!!!!!

[chrisd_123]

Very sad news. As said above, I hope he realised how much he was appreciated by everyone. He did a hell of a lot for this club without really asking or needing anything in return.

He stayed out of the spotlight but when he was available publicly (meet the owners etc) he always came across as a genuinely nice guy who seemingly loved the club and only wanted what was best for the club and the town. He's a huge part of our recent history and we're more than thankful for it!

Echo all the sentiments above. Condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Dick.

[phil old leake]

Rest in peace

[RoversAlias]

Very, very sad news which I'm gutted to read. My thoughts are with Andy, Claire and the whole family as well as all who knew him at DRFC.

Dick was by all accounts a true gentleman and it is without question that he has played a major part in our great success of the last ten years. At least his final season with us was one that ended in promotion.

RIP Mr. Watson, thanks for everything.

[ROVERSBELLY]

RIP Dick , thanks for everything you have done over the years , Rovers are all the better off as a result of your enthusiasm and you will be sadly missed. Thoughts with the family.

[MachoMadness]

Sad news. Without a doubt an essential part of our recent success alongside Bramall and JR, a team that I think it's fair to say gave us one of the best squads we've ever had at DRFC. His place in Rovers history won't be forgotten.

[Goole Rover]

So sorry to hear of this sad news. A man who never looked for the publicity following his contribution towards the success of a number of organisations. My condolences to his family.

[Scooter]

RIP Dick. Thanks for everything. Thoughts with his family

[Filo]

RIP Mr Watson, seemed like a very genuine person, conolences to the family

[balbyrover]

RIP Dick Watson,never met the man personally but I do realise that without him at the club we would probably never have seen some of the glorious days that we have in recent years.
I'd imagine there will be a minutes silence/applause at tommorows game in memory of Dick.

[wing commander]

Terribly Sad news..We owe him so much and a gentleman too...We were lucky to have him .. Condolences to Andy and family who I'm sure will continue his legacy...

[rover-n-out]

Saddened and shocked to hear of Mr. Watson's passing. His generosity and love for our club and town in general, will never be forgotten. A sad day for his family, the town, Rovers, and of course all who knew him. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Mr. Watson.

[bobjimwilly]

Very sad news indeed. A huge loss to the Rovers family. Thoughts with Andy and the rest of the Watson family.
