He was a cult terrace hero during the 1980s and even scored a hat-trick on his first full international appearance – a 9-0 win over Luxembourg.
Blissett was a crucial part of the Graham Taylor-led Watford side that=2 0rose up through the lower ranks of English football, to eventually finish in second place behind Liverpool in the 198 3 championship race.
In that championship-chasing season, Blissett scored 27 goals, including four in one game - at home against Sunderland, a match which Watford went on to win 8-0, establishing a cl ub record.
Such was his form for the Hornets that Bobby Robson saw it fit to hand him his first of a total of 14 England caps in October 1983 when he came on as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat to West Germany at Wembley.�
In December, playing in only his second game for England, he scored a hat-trick against the hapless Luxembourg side who eventually lost 9-0.
In the 1983/84 season Luther was signed by Italian giants AC Milan, he scored five goals in 30 league games and was transferred back to Vicarage Road at the end of the year for £550,000. Back at Watford he enjoyed four and a bit more seasons with the Hertfordshire club, scoring almost as freely as he had before his move abroad. After a short spell at Harry Redknapps Bournemouth, he re-join ed Watford for a third spell the following season and scored 10 more goals for the Hornets, taking him to his final tally of 158 – a club record.
After ending his playing career Luther returned once more to Watford as coach under Graham Taylor, and he then went on to Manage York City and Chesham United
