  • Summary

  • It's summer 1977. Watford are languishing in English football's Fourth Division but they have a wealthy, flamboyant and famous owner who has dreams of taking them to the top. The rock star, Elton John, has only recently taken full control but he's a novice when it comes to running a football club.


    Elton's vision is to appoint England's World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore as manager, but Watford's directors have other ideas and set about persuading the chairman to go for someone who knows what the lower divisions are all about. It takes an intervention from the legendary Don Revie to change the course of the club's history.


    The club the new manager inherits is a shambles. Greyhound racing takes priority over football at Vicarage Road. But the goal is clear, to reach the First Division in ten years...


    Enjoy the game by Lionel Birnie. Read by Colin Mace. Produced by Jon Moonie.
