John Watson Death, Obituary – John Watson, who had been unwell for a shorter period of time than usual, passed away yesterday after serving as the patron of the New Zealand Polo Association. When we learned that he was about to leave, our hearts were filled with the deepest imaginable grief, but we had to carry on. John’s polo career had its start at the Cambridge Polo Club; nevertheless, he has only very lately settled down on territory that is owned and managed by the Kihikihi Polo Club.
John had the most in-depth knowledge and memory of the history of our great sport, and he delighted in the chance to share both the history and his own personal experiences from the past with others. John had the most in-depth knowledge and memory of the history of our wondrous sport. John has the most in-depth knowledge as well as the best recall when it came to the history of our marvelous sport. In 1965, 1970, 1971, and 1973, he won the Savile Cup alongside a number of other fantastic teammates, the most notable of whom was his brother Jim Watson (in every Savile win with John), and in 1965, he won the Savile Cup alongside Kenny Browne.
He also won the Savile Cup in 1965 alongside Kenny Browne. Additionally, in 1965, he and Kenny Browne were victorious in the Savile Cup. In his day, he was a player of unparalleled ability, and on four consecutive times, he carried the Cup back to his hometown (father of the current NZ Polo President, Alan Browne). Additionally, New Zealand supported him in his pursuit of Olympic glory by sending him to participate in 1964. John was a contributing member of the management team for New Zealand for a cumulative total of 34 years.
Everyone who had the good fortune to meet John and get to know him was struck by his unassuming attitude, calm demeanor, and dry sense of humor. John was one of those people who had the good fortune to meet John and get to know him. John was successful in gaining the favor and affection of everybody who had the opportunity to spend time with him.
All of the polo players and fans in New Zealand, in addition to those in the greater polo community all around the world, are going to miss him very, very much. He was an integral part of the sport. We want the Watson family to know that we are thinking about them and praying for them at this difficult time. Please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss.
