Which English football club did Elton John famously support and serve as chairman? The answer is Watford Football Club.
Elton John supported Watford from childhood and became the club's chairman and director in 1976. He appointed Graham Taylor as manager and invested heavily in the team, helping transform it from a lower-division side into a serious force in English football.
Watford climbed from the Fourth Division to the First Division in just seven years. The club finished as First Division runners-up in the 1982–83 season and reached the FA Cup final in 1984. John sold the club in 1987 but remained associated with it as president.
He later bought Watford again and returned as chairman in 1997, stepping down in 2002. He has continued as the club's honorary life president. The Elton John Stand at Vicarage Road commemorates his longstanding relationship with the team.
The most likely confusion is with Arsenal, Chelsea, or Luton Town. Luton is particularly notable because Watford and Luton have a fierce rivalry, but Luton was never Elton John's club. His support for Watford is one of the best-known links between popular music and English football.
