Johaanas Hermanus Petrus Lohman

After being capped nine times at Under-21 level, Jan Lohman became the first foreigner to be signed by Watford from an overseas club, having first come to Vicarage Road as a trialist. Soon after scoring on his Football League début he did the same thing in his first FA Cup outing (Watford 1, Manchester United 0) and stayed for five seasons as hard-tackling midfielder. Before returning to Belgium he suffered badly from injury problems, and it was a knee injury that eventually caused his retirement from the game.
