Rocket man Sir Elton John played a sell-out gig at his beloved Vicarage Road and told relegated Watford players: “Play with a lot more f****** passion.”
On his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, the former Hornets chairman – who presided over five promotions, an FA Cup final and European football in two spells – told an emotional crowd: “This club saved my life.”
Between hits from his vast back catalogue, Sir Elton implored fans to get behind new manager Rob Edwards. Watford slipped back into the Championship last season after picking up a pathetic eight points from 19 home games, the worst campaign in their history, including 11 consecutive defeats at Vicarage Road.
