Leonard Frank "Len" Watson (11 October 1927 – 5 August 2013) was a New Zealand cricketer.
[1][2] Watson was born at Dunedin in 1927 and educated at High Street School in the city.
A batsman who was known for his "solid defence" and who was difficult to get out,[4] Watson opened the batting in each of his Shield matches.
[2][4] The brothers played together for Albion–along with two other brothers, Albie and Les[4]–and in other Otago sides, including a match in January 1960 against the Canterbury B side in which they opened the batting together―Len making 51 and Eric 102, an innings which saw the older Watson called back in to the Otago side for the last of his 46 matches for the representative team.
[8] Despite a number of other good performances, including a century scored for an Otago XI against the touring Rockdale Kia Ora side from Australia in January 1957,[9] Len was never recalled by Otago.
