Billy Watts

Time Keeper

Billy Watts is an institution at Headingley Carnegie having been a fixture at the club since his first game as a 12-year-old supporter in Christmas 1938. His first game saw Leeds beat Salford 5-0 in a game that was remarkably played in the cricket outfield due to freezing conditions.

Watts was a scrum-half with East Leeds in his younger years and his work with the club has ranged from fundraising to helping out on the training ground, where you'll find him every day at seven in the morning during the season.

He took over as Leeds's timekeeper in 1975 and has been doing the job, home and away, ever since.

Watts is a former Clubman of the Year in 1999 and in 2003 was presented with an Outstanding Service Award by the Leeds ex-players association. As well as his many roles at Headingley Carnegie, he is also a regular appointment by the Rugby Football League for time keeping at Test matches.
