In this print captured by Crump, we are transported back to the 1970s, specifically the 11th of November in 1978. The image showcases an iconic moment as Graham Taylor and Elton John immerse themselves in a thrilling football match between Watford and Gillingham. Graham Taylor, the esteemed chairman and manager of Watford Football Club at that time, can be seen alongside the legendary singer-songwriter Elton John. Both men exude a sense of excitement and anticipation as they watch intently from their seats amidst a vibrant crowd. The fashion choices of this era are on full display in this photograph - wide collars, flared trousers, and bold patterns dominate the scene. Elton John's flamboyant hat adds an extra touch of flair to his ensemble.
