ELTON JOHN'S A HOMOSEXUAL

Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:41 am

And before people jump on, it don't worry me what he is what he does and people's sexuality is their own choice, just thinking back though to the day he came out of the closet and told the world he was gay.

It was a day or two before Watford (and he was Chairman at the time) were playing us at Vicarage road, there was well over a thousand of us there and from start to finish all they sang was "Elton John's a Homosexual, Elton John's a homosexual"

I did cringe with embarrassment at the start but by the eightieth minute of what seemed like not stop chanting of above it started to seem funny,I bet he'd waited a few days before the big announcement of the world's worse kept secret.

The other thing I remember from that day and I'm sure others off this board were there, we'd got there early by train and were all queuing up by the turnstiles to get in, when the shout went up, the big metal double doors had been closed but not locked, suddenly they were swung open and close on seven hundred of us were in like a flash.

Never forget one of the Aberdare boys Ian Willams (speedy gonzalez, to slow to catch a cold) was standing with us in his own world and didn't notice us all disappear through this gate, and he had to pay at the turnstile, it was funny as f**k seeing the turnstile bloke ready for seven hundred of us and then only taking the money off one fan till the next load arrived later. :old:

What was that about posting evidence of wrong doing on social media sites?

Expect a knock on the door Gwyn as EJ is just making a complaint about homophobic chanting ;)

I think he'd be more worried about the seven hundred admission fees he missed out on, that would have bought him at least four pairs of those specs he used to wear. ;)

Yeh, it would have been early eighties, and it was an open section, when I go to the new stadium at Vicarage road I can't work out where it was, but I am almost senile to be honest.
