Family pay tribute to 'best friend' dad Anthony Watson who died at work in Bulwell

The family of a man who died while at work in Bulwell have paid tribute to a "character" and "best friend". It is understood that Anthony Watson, also known as Tony, died on July 11 while working at Cheshires of Nottingham, a flooring distributor owned by Headlam Group.

It is unknown how granddad Mr Watson, who turned 50 in June, died. Headlam Group officials said an investigation by authorities was ongoing. Mr Watson's son Luke, 22, said his dad lived in Bulwell and was "very popular" around pubs in the area.

Both Mr Watson and his son enjoyed going to Liverpool games, and these trips to Anfield are among Luke's most cherished memories. Luke, who works in the construction trade, lives in the family home and said "it felt like a nightmare" when he found out his father would not be coming home, who also leaves behind wife Michelle Watson and another son Ryan Watson.
