Heurelho Gomes may still have a part to play in Watford's search for a first major trophy but the popular Brazilian appeared to say an emotional farewell at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

The 38-year-old says he is '99 percent' certain to retire at the end of the season, having played as understudy to manager Javi Gracia's first choice keeper Ben Foster.

He has played throughout the FA Cup run, however, and it is possible he could keep his place for the Wembley semi-final after helping his side beat Crystal Palace 2-1.
