22 Celebrities Who Owned A Sports Team That You Had No Clue About

11. Elton John — Watford FC

Also a fan of the beautiful game, Elton John bought the very club that he has rooted for since he was a child. The rock legend became chairman of the Watford Football Club in 1976 before selling it in 1987. He later bought the team back in 1997, before selling out for a second time in 2002. Though he’s not writing the checks anymore, Sir Elton’s anthem “I’m Still Standing” serves as the team’s entrance song.
