EUROA Football Netball Club legend Scott Watson has been officially inducted into the Goulburn Valley Footbal League Hall of Fame.
Watson is a popular name around the club, holding the position of club president for 12 years and serving on the committee for the same 12.
His enthusiasm and passion for football did not start where it does for most, in juniors, Watson did not discover his talent until the ripe age of 21, when he asked for a kick at Longwood Football Netball Club.
He fell in love with the sport, spending two years at Longwood before transferring to the EFNC, where he would begin an amazing sporting career with the Magpies as a player, administrator and coach over the span of 30 years.
Watson was a natural, quickly developing into a stellar player in the backline.
This talent did not go unrecognised, and Scott was selected as a league squad member, representing the GVFL on four occasions.
In 1998 Watson was invited by the GVFL to coach the under 18 representative side, a role he took on with enthusiasm and continued for 13 years.
He spent 13 years as the senior captain at EFNC, including a grand final showdown in 2005 and winning the Magpies best player award, plus three times runner up.
Since then, Watson has become a qualified life member of the GVFL and concluded his senior playing career on his 365th senior game.
However, he couldn't give up the game, continuing with the reserves team, clocking up 55 reserves game and aged 44 in 2013 winning the reserves best player award.
In 2014 Watson's hard work and dedication was finally rewarded as a part of the Euroa reserves premiership team.
Outside of the Euroa Football Netball Club Watson has coached the Victorian under 15 schoolboys' football team and the Goulburn Murray under 15 schoolboys' team.
