'THE biggest result of our season' is how Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd described today's decision to award Al Bangura a work permit.

Boothroyd, who once again gave evidence of behalf of Bangura at today's hearing in Sheffield, just couldn't hide his delight at the news that not only saves Al's footballing career, but also potentially his life.

Speaking to www.watfordfc.com just moments after the news broke, Boothroyd said: "I am just absolutely thrilled for Al, it's hard for me and you to comprehend how big this is for him.

"I said at the very start of this process that ultimately I had faith in British justice, and I'm delighted that faith has been justified.

"As for Al, it's often said that we're in a results business and this has got to be the biggest and best result of the season so far for everyone connected with Watford Football Club.

"It'll be great to see that brilliant smile back again."
