Watford's oldest known player Dave Bewley passes away at the age of 92

Watford's oldest known player, who once had the unenviable task of marking the great Stanley Matthews at Vicarage Road, passed away at the age of 92 last week.

Dave Bewley, who was born in 1920, joined Watford from Fulham in May 1953 for £500 and was a first team regular for the Hornets before moving to Folkestone in 1956.

A calm and cultured full-back, Bewley was considered for international honours as a schoolboy but it wasn't until he was 26 that he made it in league football.

After retiring from playing in 1957, the former Hornets defender took up a coaching post at Hemel Hempstead Town where he stayed until 1959.

During his career he had also played for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic (now AFC Bournemouth), Gravesend, and Reading.

The Watford Observer's former assistant editor Oliver Phillips recalls a story Bewley once told him: "Dave was one of the few players who had a car and he would take Frank Mitchell and Jimmy Bowie to races after morning training.

"I think he gave me the anecdote about playing Stanley Matthews in an exhibition friendly when Watford were undergoing the floodlit boom.

"He was so diligent in marking the great man, Matthews eventually turned to him and said: 'These people here have paid to watch me play, not to see you tackle me."

After leaving football, the talented sportsman captained Oxhey Cricket Club and worked for Kodak in Hemel Hempstead for 26 years.

Bewley was a popular character as demonstrated on his 92nd birthday when the entire Legends Lounge at Vicarage Road sang him happy birthday.

I remember Dave from the early fifties an effective player who went about his work without fuss.
This makes me feel old!

I also remember Dave from the mid-fifties, and was thrilled to meet him on his birthday in the legend's bar. We had quite a chat about football and recalled some of the players of the day, including Bill Shipwright, who I also caught up with recently. RIP Dave.

Surely more fans should be commenting on this sad passing? I first saw the Hornets in 1980, but I feel any ex player of our club deserves plenty of respect, regardless of what era they played in. They've all played their part in our history! RIP and sympathies to all family and friends.

Yes I am Mick. Moved up here in 2005. It certainly makes it easier for away matches, well, northbound anyway. Always a season ticket holder, taught some of the academy when I had my driving school in KL. Gifton among others. COYH.

Frank Mitchell was robust, Johnny Meadows was sublime, Bill Shipwright and Jack Harrap played in defence, and our centre forward was Maurice Cook. First game I ever saw was Watford 3 Southend 2. 1955. Maurice Cook scored 2 and I was hooked. Still remember the headline in next day's Daily Mirror: "Southend Cooked".

I come along later, 1971 v Blackburn, opening game of season, we won 2-1, I stood under old Shrodells stand.
Remember the noise, the smell etc. fond memories. I also remember waiting for the Sports Echo delivery boy to knock the door every Saturday evening!
All the names you mentioned are names I recognise via my Dad.

That would have been the era of Dixie Hale, Terry Garbett,Duncan Welbourne etc ? I played for WFC Supporters club in the Sunday league around that time, Dixie was our trainer, and became a good friend. Some of the Watford team actually came to watch us play, can you believe that? I stood in the corner beween the Shrodells stand and the Rookery. Good stuff.

Sad to hear of Daves passing, a good solid performer in his day.I believe the previous poster was referring to Johnny Gavin an outside right who came from Norwich with another forward Peter Gordon also from Norwich, a bit later than Daves time at the club I think.
