Prince William “couldn’t walk for a week” after playing football, ex-England striker Luther Blissett has revealed. The Prince of Wales, 40, discussed his footballing exploits with the former Watford player as he handed out honours at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
Blissett, who was one of the most prominent black English footballers in the 1970s and 80s and the first black footballer to score a hat-trick for England, received an OBE for his services to the sport and for his charity work.The 65 year old, discussing what he and William spoke about during the ceremony, said: “We had just a couple of little words.
I did ask him if he would love to come and join us on the (Watford former) players club and he said yes, he would love to. “He said he was playing (football) last week and he said he couldn’t walk for a week afterwards.
He says he still plays 11-a-side.” Blissett also spoke to the prince about his charity work and shared his well-wishes following King Charles’ Coronation at the weekend.
