What do we think?
Now 35 years old, Holebas has made a total of 122 appearances for Watford in all competitions since arriving at the club in July 2015, costing the Hornets a transfer fee of £2.25m, according to Transfermarkt. The former Greece international has scored just six goals in all competitions during his time at Vicarage Road.
Considering his goal record, it may be understandable why Holebas’ strike versus Middlesbrough from 2016 stands out as a memorable goal for some Watford fans, who may have been impressed by his striking ability on this occasion.
