Playing Career
Jackett broke into the Watford first team at the end of the 1979-80 season. During the 1980s he helped the team to a runners-up spot in Division One, as well as appearing in the 1984 FA Cup Final. Jackett's playing career was ended prematurely when a serious knee injury forced his retirement in 1990, at the age of 28. Had he not incurred the injury he would have most likely topped Watford's all-time appearance record - currently held by striker Luther Blissett.
