Ex-Watford boss Javi Gracia joining Woking fundraiser

Former Watford boss Javi Gracia is joining Woking's fundraiser.

Gracia's Watford team met Woking in the third round of the FA Cup last season on their way to reaching the final and Gracia developed something of an affinity for the Surrey side and their manager Alan Dowson, who famously gave the Spaniard a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale as a gift after the match.

The Watford Observer says the initiative has offered supporters a number of different options to pay to have their names woven into next season's kits, in a bid to try and raise some money for the club, with no games currently taking place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a video shared via the Woking Twitter account, Gracia said: "After playing against Woking last season, I realised how special this club was. Now, in these difficult times we are living, I would like to support them in their campaign 'Get Behind the Shirt'.

"I've already ordered mine. That's all my support, take care my friends.
