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.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“Guilt is the most destructive of all emotions. It mourns what has been while playing no part in what may be, now or in the future. Whatever you are doing, however, you are coping, if you listen to your child and to your own feelings, there will be something you can actually do to make things right.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
