Danny Shittu (born 2 September, 1980 in Lagos) is a Nigerian footballer, currently playing for Watford F.C. after signing from Queen's Park Rangers F.C. for £1.6 million on August 6, 2006.
After two years at Charlton mainly spent on loan (First at Blackpool then QPR), QPR acquired his services permanently for £350,000. He was bought by a fan (Alex Winton) who also payed his wages for Shittu's first season at QPR. His time there was successful, with 159 appearances in four seasons, plus 16 goals. In the summer of 2006 he was snapped up for £1.6m by Premiership newcomers Watford. This move was slightly controversial, as Shittu had passed a medical and was on his way to West Bromwich Albion, before an 11th hour call from Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd secured a move to Vicarage Road.
