He once scored six in an game against Leeds United
This is the story of West Ham's highest-ever goal scorer, who has more strikes than 1966 World Cup winner Geoff Hurst, and signed from Wellingborough Town. Vic Watson, a centre forward, played 505 times for West Ham between 1920 and 1936.
He was initially bringing him in to provide cover for Syd Puddefoot, who was an England international in his own right, but Watson returned the fee in spades by banging in 326 goals.Of these, 298 were in the league and 28 in the FA Cup. Furthermore, 203 of his league goals were from 295 top-flight appearances. Memorably, he once scored six in an 8–2 home win against Leeds on 9 February 1929.
“At half-time, the score was two goals all but in the second half, West Ham United scored six times. Watson, who was really brilliant, scored six times.” Vic also earned two international caps with England in 1923 and a further three caps in 1930, scoring four goals in total. It included two against the old enemy Scotland in the 1930 British Home Championship.
