Howard Watt

Howard Watt

Howard Hugh Watt , (b. Mar 1, 1911, Rosebank, Cape Town, Cape Province. d. Aug 17, 2005, Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) was the last surviving pre-war Springbok and part of the legendary South African rugby team nicknamed 'The Invincibles.'

Nicknamed "Sparkle", he was both a talented Cricketer and Rugby player.

He bowled Sir Donald Bradman twice in one match in Chicago in 1932 as a fast bowler. When Howard Watt met him again in 1937, Bradman remembered him as one of the few people to dismiss him so cheaply.
