Luther Blissett OBE is the latest person to be named on the list that was started as part of Watford’s centenary celebrations.
He made his Hornets debut in 1976 and became the club’s record goal scorer and leading appearance maker.And he is one of only four men to play in all four divisions for Watford in their meteoric climb from the Fourth Division to the First Division. As Watford FC’s international cap, he was the first black player to score a goal for England in 1982.But he is also known for several endeavours outside of his sports career that involve charity work.Throughout Covid he organised and participated in numerous fundraising events including Watford’s Our Big Bold Community Quiz, which raised nearly £200,000.
He has also worked to secure housing for Ukrainian refugees and worked to ensure mental health support is given to the families who have fled war. His commitment to sports and charity did not go unnoticed when he was awarded an OBE as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee birthday honours last year.
