How many football clubs can say they had a world music icon guiding them through history? Sir Elton John has been tied to Watford FC since he was five, back when the stands were rickety and the team played in blue. Now, watching the club storm back into the Premier League, he calls it “an amazing achievement,” and you can hear how much it means to him.
He does not sugarcoat the struggle. The team’s drop last year was painful, but their response was electric. Elton credits coach Xisco for changing the style of play and says the players’ home form, usually a weak spot, has been “tremendous.” He admits match days are nerve-racking but his passion never fades.
SIR ELTON JOHN | FORMER WATFORD CHAIRMAN ON PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE!
Fans could not get enough of his love for the club. One person simply called him “a legend,” while another added, “Elton John superstar and so down to earth COYH.” Someone reminded everyone that he has his own stand at Vicarage Road, a tribute few clubs can match. And one comment might say it best: “And the fans love you too Elton, your orns.”
Hearing Elton speak about Watford feels like a reunion with an old friend. Which is why it is perfect that the club has teamed up with him for something special. Instead of only celebrating promotion with words, they created a kit that carries both the club’s logo and Elton’s own mark. It is like wearing pride on your sleeve.
