Лүтер Блиссет: Футболшы, жаттықтырушы және қоғам қайырмашысының өмірі мен қызметі

English association football player, coach and manager
the pseudonym used by many artists and authors

Blissett was sold back to Watford for £550,000 after one season with AC Milan. In his absence, Watford had reached their first FA Cup final, but lost to Everton, while new signing Mo Johnston was top scorer with 20 goals in the First Division.

Although born in Jamaica, Blissett was eligible to play for England having moved to the country at a young age. After making four appearances for England under 21s, Blissett became one of the first black footballers to play for the senior team. He scored a hat trick on his full international debut – a 9–0 win over Luxembourg, in doing so becoming the first black player ever to score for England. He never scored in any other international, however, despite playing for England a further 13 times. In the summer of 2016, Blissett was appointed Director of Football at Burnham, briefly serving as caretaker after the departures of both Dave Tuttle and Gifton Noel Williams.

Blissett has worked as a television pundit for Channel 4 and Bravo's coverage of Serie A. With fellow former Watford and England footballers John Barnes and Les Ferdinand, he founded Team48 Motorsport; a team aiming to promote young racing drivers of Afro Caribbean background. In 2008, Blissett entered a team into the British Touring Car Championship, aiming to run Alfa Romeos for white Jamaican Matthew Gore and 18 year old black Briton Darelle Wilson. Blissett was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to association football and charity.

Blissett's name has been adopted by many people in radical activist circles as a nom de plume or collective alias when engaged in unusual performances, situationist pranks, media hoaxes, and the production of radical theory. The Luther Blissett multiple name project first began in 1994 in Italy, no doubt a consequence of his link with A. C. Milan, and has since then been widely used by artists, underground reviews, poets, performers and squatters' collectives in cities throughout Europe and South America. In 1999 "Luther Blissett" authored a historical novel called Q, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies in over ten languages. He was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Hertfordshire in July 2021. He was awarded an OBE in June 2022.
