The 65-year-old was 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, and his career flourished under coach Tom Walley and the club’s greatest ever manager Graham Taylor, the driving force behind bringing the club and community together.He became the first black footballer to score a hat-trick for England and was bought by AC Milan for £1 million in 1983.
“That my career as a footballer can be used by the charities to touch the lives, not just of football fans, but their families and the community as a whole is in itself a great honour,” Blissett said of the honour last year.“To receive an OBE not just for my achievements in football but for using that career for the good of others makes me immeasurably proud, even more so in this Platinum Jubilee year.
