Monday's play-off final may be worth £120million to Watford, but defender Lloyd 'Lloydinho' Doyley could be in for a cash windfall of his own if he scores what would be just his third goal in 12 years.
In the bar in the Main Stand at Watford's ground there is a message board where fans have left good luck messages for the team ahead of Monday's final. Amongst the many Italian-themed messages like 'Forza Watford' and 'Watfordola', another sticks out. It reads: 'Lloydinho!!! True Watford Legend'. The likes of Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young and Gianluca Vialli may have passed through Vicarage Road in the last 11 years, but Doyley has remained and the fans love him for that reason. They have latched on to the Lloydinho moniker which he picked up four years ago. "I got the name from (former Watford manager) Brendan Rodgers a few years back," said Doyley. "It came from a game where we lost against Chelsea in the cup (in 2009). "We lost 3-1, but I played a ball in on goal and Tamas Priskin scored. Brendan Rodgers called me Lloydinho from there." Zola signed nine players on loan from Udinese this season following the Pozzo family's takeover of the club. The policy has drawn criticism from some managers, including Palace boss Ian Holloway. Doyley admits he was worried about the influx of new players at the start of the season. "You always worry about (new players coming in)," he said. "There was a stage when I was out of the team for five or six games but I just got on the training field and worked harder."
