Watford Goalkeeper Reveals Early Retirement Plans and Possible Future as a Pastor

Watford's eccentric Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has revealed that an early retirement may be on the cards, as well as a change of career.

Despite his reputation for the odd howler, Gomes has enjoyed a long career in the Premier League, appearing over 200 combined times for Tottenham Hotspur and Watford. The Brazilian is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League this season however, with Ben Foster getting the nod in his place.

Speaking to Brazilian journalist Jaeci Carvalho as quoted by Sport Witness, Gomes outlined his plans for the future, and hinted that a change of career could be on the horizon.
