On this date in Watford FC history
Saturday, October 27, 1984
Watford entertained Newcastle United in the first division.
Two goals down with less than half-an-hour to play, a Lee Sinnott throw-in created an opening for Luther Blissett to score, and within five minutes Worrell Sterling had equalised.
Newcastle went ahead again through Kenny Wharton, before David Bardsley released Blissett to score a late equaliser, his 100th league goal.
The team left the pitch to a standing ovation.
