Imp Hopes For Watford Win Over Leeds

20th May 2006

Although Lincoln City have been eliminated from this season's play-offs, one of their current players does retain an active interest.

Tomorrow, the Championship Play-off final between Leeds United and Watford takes place in Cardiff. The winners of the tie will win promotion to the Premiership.

Among those taking a keen interest in the final is Scott Loach, who is the current Lincoln City youth team goalkeeper. On July 1st, the highly rated Loach will complete a £50,000 transfer to Watford.

Should Watford secure promotion to the Premiership, then it would represent quite a jump for Loach, who has yet to play a professional match. Despite this fact, he was also linked to Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Derby County and Liverpool before he agreed terms with Watford.

Meanwhile, Lincoln City also have an interest in the Leeds United camp because Sam Ellis is the assistant-manager at Leeds. Ellis was a legendary player at Lincoln during the Graham Taylor era of the 1970's. He later returned to manage Lincoln in 1994 but his spell as manager was memorable for all the wrong reasons. After a disappoint thirteen months in charge, Ellis was dismissed as Lincoln manager in September 1995.
