DARIUS Henderson has been nominated for the Football League's Player of the Month thanks to his September goal blitz.

His five goals see him as a front runner up against West Brom's Felipe Teixeira, Coventry's Michael Mifsud and Sheffield United's James Beattie.

Beattie is the only other nominee to have scored five goals last month, but the peroxide poacher's goals have enabled Watford to take the League's top spot and remain there during September.

The winners will be announced on Monday October 8 on the Big League Weekend 2 on Sky Sports 1 at 7pm.
