JANUARY 18, 1993 – Elton John resigned his directorship of Watford Football (Soccer) Club.
His website’s formal statement read: “Elton John has decided to resign as Life President of Watford Football Club. In a letter to Watford chairman Graham Simpson, Elton affirmed that he would always be a fan of Watford.“Elton wishes the team every success for the future. However, in the light of developments over the past few months, he feels he cannot remain in any formal position within the club.”
John became the Chairman of the club on June 28, 1976 and quickly appointed Graham Taylor as manager and invested large sums of money as the club rose three divisions into the First Division.
