Anyone remember Grant Watts? He went to the same secondary school as me (Dunraven) and was in my brother's year, so we followed his brief Palace career closely. He played brilliantly in a cup run, including (if my memory serves me correctly) a great bicycle kick volley against Chelsea. He was part of a generation of youth team players along with George Ndah that a lot was expected from - but was quickly moved out on loan, then sold. Last I heard he'd been playing for Croydon in the non league before retiring. Anyone else remember him, or know what he's up to since retiring?
