The unforgettable story of Watford Football Club’s seemingly impossible rise from the Fourth to the First Division, led by the unlikely duo of Hornet’s manager Graham Taylor and rock star-turned-owner, Elton John. Long before English soccer became an American passion, Watford Football Club-a team located in a working-class industrial town that time and prosperity had passed by-languished at the bottom of the English Football League. Despite their pitiful record, the club enthralled a local boy by the name of Reginald Dwight, who began attending games with his father, an avid fan, in 1953. More than twenty years later, having shed his given name, Elton John had become the most successful rock star in the world. With his six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide-colored hair, Elton was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a universe away from the village where he had supported Watford FC, yet his boyhood love of Watford and its dogged players remained.
