Tom Watson robbed at Llandudno


August 19, 1906
Mr. Tom Watson, secretary of the Liverpool Football Club was yesterday robbed of nearly £100 on Llandudno Pier. He went from Liverpool in the morning with his family for a day’s outing, and took the money which belonged to the club with him believing it would be safer than in a close-up house. He carried it in a bag in the pocket of his trousers, and missed it directly the steamer left Llandudno on the return passage.

  1. Sorry Great Grandpa Tom Watson was robbed. What a bummer, even though it’s been nearly 107 years ago. They used to call him Owd Tom, as a term of endearment. 🙂
