Watford Forever: How Graham Taylor and Elton John Saved a Football Club, a Town

Description: Watford Forever by John Preston, Elton John Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The unforgettable story, decades before Ted Lasso, of the real-life Watford Football Team, transformed into a powerhouse by coach Graham Taylor and owner Elton John. Publisher Description Nothing has brought English soccer more immediately into the American mainstream than Ted Lasso, which captivated the nation in thirty-four episodes over three seasons. But before there was Jason Sudeikiss lovable and, at first, hapless AFC Richmond, there was Watford Football Club, a team from the outskirts of London with barely enough fans to fill its stands—and which, in the mid-1970s, was languishing in 92nd place at the bottom of the last division of the English Football League. That is, until rock superstar Elton John—who, with his dad, had followed the team as a boy—bought the lowly franchise and, with legendary manager Graham Taylor, transformed the luckless football club into a top-seeded Premier League team. Inspiring, funny, and ultimately heartbreaking, Watford Forever recalls the improbably tender relationship between Elton John and Taylor, a straight-talking former fullback, who together beat the odds and their personal demons to save a club and a struggling community. Author Biography John Preston was the Sunday Telegraphs television critic and one of its chief feature writers for ten years. He lives in London. Elton Johns honors include two Oscars and six Grammys. The honorary lifetime president of Watford FC, he was chairman of the club from 1976 to 1987 and 1997 to 2002. He lives in England.
