Luther Blissett

Jamaican Luther Blissett played for Watford between 1976 and 1992 and was only the fourth player to appear in Watford's colours and set a string of goal scoring records both for the club and among black players in English football.

Luther left Watford in 1983 to play for AC Milan but he returned after a year away then transferred to Bournemouth. His subsequent travels took him far and wide but inevitably he returned to Watford as a part-time marketing assistant. Then came the return of Graham Taylor with Luther as a coach.

Luther is immortalised in current popular culture on the TV show 'Soccer AM', who have dedicated a 'Luther Blissett Stand' for eight visiting football fans to the show.
