Watford forever : how Graham Taylor and Elton John saved a football club, a town and each other
Preston, John, 1953-2023
Books
'Watford Forever' is the remarkable story of Elton John's ownership of Watford FC and its transformational journey to the top of the First Division under iconic manager Graham Taylor. Perhaps most remarkably, four of the same players who had been written off as has-beens went with them all the way from the bottom to the top. Inspiring and infectiously funny, this is a tribute to football's unlikeliest friendship as Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback with a love of Vera Lynn, beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a community. Immersed in the grime and glamour of '70s Britain, 'Watford Forever' is one of sport's great underdog stories and a love letter to the beautiful game.
