Elton John

[Eastender]

Was Elton the first to own a Football Club? He did own Watford, did'nt he?. If not who was the first music celebrity to own one. Thanks

Yes, he did own Watford, but I couldn't tell you whether or not he was the first.

I didn;t know if he owned it or was a director, but I know it was headline news at the time, whichever he did, it was the first time a star had done that, though Eric Morcambe was famously associated with Luton Town before that.
