Elton John fans swarm in to Watfords Vicarage Road ground
Elton John fans swarm in to Watfords Vicarage Road ground. They filled the terraces, the stand, and even covered the pitch. It was a good job they hadn t come to see football. The man who packed them in was pop star Elton John, who is a director of the Third Division club. Elton was giving a concert to boost club funds. And he did so very handsomely. Watford should be about £ 40, 000 better off. Pictured, Elton John playing at the Watford Concert. 5th May 1974

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1974, Elton John fans can be seen swarming into Watford's Vicarage Road ground. The sheer number of attendees is awe-inspiring as they fill the terraces, stand, and even cover the pitch. However, it becomes apparent that these enthusiastic fans hadn't come to witness a football match but rather to experience a mesmerizing concert by none other than pop star Elton John himself. As a director of the Third Division club, Elton took it upon himself to give this extraordinary performance in order to boost club funds. And he did so with remarkable success. The impact of his concert on Watford's financial situation should leave them approximately £40,000 better off – an impressive feat indeed. The image captures Elton John in all his glory as he takes center stage at the Watford Concert. Dressed in fashionable attire typical of the 1970s era, he exudes charisma and confidence while entertaining his adoring fans with his incredible musical talent. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Elton John's immense popularity during that time but also highlights his unwavering dedication towards supporting local clubs like Watford. It is no wonder why this iconic moment has been preserved through Memory Lane Prints for generations to appreciate and reminisce about one of music history's most memorable events.
