The book will be published on November 16.
Sir Elton John has told the inspirational story behind his ownership of Watford FC and the club’s success under manager Graham Taylor for the first time in a book about “underdogs triumphing against all the odds”.
Under manager Taylor, Watford finished second behind champions Liverpool during the 1982-83 season and he also guided the team to the FA Cup final for the first time in their history – a 2-0 defeat against Everton – the following year. “We took a club in financial turmoil at the bottom of the football pyramid to second in the league, an FA Cup final and European football.
Sir Elton stepped down as chairman of Watford in 2002, but serves as honorary life-president of the Championship club after becoming chairman in 1976.
