Watford captain Troy Deeney has paid tribute to his mum.

Deeney has thanked his mum Emma for the way he raised.

He told The Sun: “She is a warrior and an angel.

“People always say to me, 'It must be so much pressure and so difficult playing out there in front of 60,000 people.'

“I always say, 'No, not really.' Playing football and earning great money isn't difficult.

“Working three jobs and raising kids alone, which is what my Mum did. That's difficult."
