How Elton John Became a Watford Football Fan
In his latest interview with England's great Gary Lineker, Elton John said, "My dad brought me here when I was five or six, but I also used to sit on the touchline at Craven Cottage."
"My cousin Roy Dwight played for Fulham on the same team as Jimmy Hill, Bedford Jezzard, Johnny Haynes, and Tony Macedo."
"I grew up watching Fulham a lot, but this is my local team. When Roy went to Nottingham Forest, I concentrated on this place."
"I can't tell you how much pleasure this club has given me. I get very emotional when I think about it."
