And for Watford FC, the outlook was even gloomier. Rundown and rat-infested, Watford were an ailing side with holes in their kit and barely enough fans to fill a stand. Of the 92 clubs in the Football League, spread across four divisions, Watford were in 92nd place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Elton John was the most successful rockstar in the world. With six-inch platforms, spangled jumpsuits, and peroxide hair, he was glamorous, gay, and seemingly a world away from the semi-detached house in Pinner where he had supported Watford FC as a child. Many assumed he would move to America. Instead, he bought the football club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatford 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImmersed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\" style=\"background-color: #edeae3;\"\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_1\"\u003e\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" class=\"accordion__summary\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title flex\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext\" style=\"line-height: 2.5rem;\"\u003eData om boken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 00.708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 000-.708z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Pocket. 8:o (129x198 mm)\u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2024. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 336 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241996911. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Preston+John\"\u003ePreston, John\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Watford+Forever\"\u003eWatford Forever\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Penguin+Books+Ltd.\"\u003ePenguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Memoarer+och+biografier\"\u003eMemoarer och biografier\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 22196243\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWatford Forever\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e av \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Preston\u003c\/strong\u003e hittar du under genren \u003cstrong\u003eBiografi: allmänt\u003c\/strong\u003e inom \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e i kategorin \u003cstrong\u003eBiografier \u0026amp; memoarer\u003c\/strong\u003e.
