Leading Goalscorer
Luther Blissett: 186 Goals
Also the holder of the record for record appearances (503), Blissett joined the club in 1974 and became a key member of the side which rose from the bottom division of English football to the top in six seasons.
After scoring 27 goals in 41 appearances in the club’s debut season in the First Division, he signed for AC Milan for £1m in 1983. It was rumoured at the time that the Italians mistook him for England international John Barnes. He wasn’t a success in Milan, scoring just five goals and returned to Vicarage Road in 1984.
He played a further 169 times in two separate spells for the club, moving onto Watford, before finishing his career at Bury and Mansfield Town.
Greatest Moment
13th May 1983, Vicarage Road. Some would argue that reaching the FA Cup final a year later was the pinnacle but this was Watford’s zenith. Their debut season in English football’s top flight ended with The Hornets securing the runners-up spot. Liverpool, already crowned champions, arrived in Hertfordshire for the final match of the season.
Watford won 2 – 1, taking full advantage of Manchester United’s surprise 3 – 2 defeat at Notts County to leapfrog the Red Devils into second place. The following season, Watford reached the FA Cup final, as well as playing in the UEFA Cup (now Europa League), eliminated in the third round by Sparta Prague.
