Mrs Porteous is in for a treat next time Sir Elton John drops by Vicarage Road. And by the sound of it, the legendary singer and musician might be the one seeking out an autograph. Ryan Porteous is beginning to make a name for himself in the Scotland team.
But it’s the same at Watford, who can claim Elton as their most famous supporter. When Manchester United star Scott McTominay met him at a gig recently, the pop icon wasn’t interested in how he was getting on at Old Trafford. He just wanted to ask about Scottish pal Porteous, who has impressed for the Hornets since moving from Hibs.
Which for Ryan’s mum Jill – a big Elton fan – could lead to a memorable meet-and-greet some time soon. Although according to the big defender, coming face-to-face with the 76-year-old music legend might be too much for her. Porteous said: “I had a conversation with Scott last week and he said: ‘I was speaking to Elton John and he was asking for you.’ That’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear!
