I never came across the fact that Elton John not only owned one but two professional soccer clubs, Watford FC and the Los Angeles Aztecs.

Even more important is the fact that Elton John brought this football club, Watford, am I saying that correctly?

I'm probably not.

I apologize to the good people of Watford, wherever that is.

He brought this football club back from financial and competitive ruin.

Lowest of the fourth division, ranked dead last, 92 of 92, all the way to the top tier of the first.

Basically, Elton John did what Ryan Reynolds and Rob from Always Sunny in Philadelphia did with Wrexham.

Elton John already did it.

It's just that there wasn't a Hulu back then when he did it, so they didn't make a TV show about it.

But you know what's wild?

I thought of this this morning when I came across this fact.

When I interviewed Elton John back in 2019, it was May of 2019.

And he asked me, it was sort of like after the interview was done, and he asked me where I was from and I told him Boston.

And he got really animated and excited.

He wanted to, I thought this is hysterical.

He started talking to me about the Boston Bruins interview.

Because they were in the Stanley Cup at that moment.

And he was just really animated about the success of Boston sports and wanted to know what it was like to be a Boston sports fan.

Crazy.

And this is because, like I said, the Bruins were in the Stanley Cup at that moment.
