Lloyd Colin Doyley (born 1 December 1982) is a professional footballer who plays for Watford as a defender. He is primarily a right-back, but can also play as a centre-back and left-back. He is the longest-serving current player for Watford, and is contracted until 2015. In 2012, the Jamaican Football Federation were tracking Doyley's progress, and in March 2013, Doyley received his first call up to the Jamaican national team. == Club career == Doyley was born in Whitechapel, London. He is a graduate of the Watford Academy, making his first team debut at home to Birmingham City in a 3–3 draw on 26 September 2001. In total he made 22 appearances during 2001–02 as manager Gianluca Vialli allowed several younger players to gain experience. He sporadically appeared for the first team in the following seasons. Doyley became a first-team regular in the 2004–05, playing in the League Cup run that took Watford to the semi-finals and Anfield, where they lost to Liverpool 1–0 in each leg. But however, during the 2005–06 campaign, under new manager Adrian Boothroyd, Doyley made the most appearances of any outfield player, playing a crucial part in Watford finishing third in the league and qualifying for the play-offs. He played in both legs of the play-off semi-final against Crystal Palace, and the final, where Watford defeated Leeds United to reach the Premier League. During Watford's season in the top flight, he scored an own-goal for Manchester United in a 4–0 defeat. Doyley captained Watford in the League Cup wins over Bristol Rovers and Darlington in the 2008–09 season. Former manager Aidy Boothroyd referred to Doyley as 'The Black Zidane'. Fans regularly refer to Doyley as 'Lloydinho'. Both nicknames are based on players Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane, both famed for being greats of the sport. Doyley's first goal was scored on his 269th appearance for the club, on 7 December 2009 at Vicarage Road, against QPR, over eight years after his first team debut. It had become a long-running joke with Watford fans as to whether Doyley would ever score for Watford,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Watford 0 Birmingham City 1 (18/04/2009) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doyley finally achieves dream goal as Watford win derby )〕 afterwards Doyley said: "I always knew it was going to happen but it took a bit longer than I thought". Doyley was awarded a testimonial for ten years of service at Watford in the summer of 2012 against Tottenham which doubled up as a pre-season friendly which was lost 1–0. It took Doyley almost three years to score his second, a cross-come-shot against Bolton Wanderers on 15 September 2012, to get Watford back in the game when they were losing 2–0. Doyley made his 350th league appearance for Watford in a 2–2 home draw against Crystal Palace on 8 February 2013. Doyley captained Watford in the absence of Manuel Almunia against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 1 March 2013. Doyley then made his 400th Watford appearance (in all competitions) after coming on as a substitute for the injured Fitz Hall against Hull City on 2 April 2013. On 27 March 2014, Doyley signed a new 12-month contract with the ''Hornets''. Following Watford's promotion to the Premier League in 2015, Doyley was not offered a new contract and wasn't given a squad number but was allowed to continue to rehabilitate with the club following neck surgery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lloyd Doyley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
