Having been relegated to the Fourth Division Watford made yet another change in their colours, this time to yellow, red & black but it was not until the arrival of pop star Elton John as chairman in 1977 that the club began their remarkable climb to the top. Graham Taylor was appointed manager & in 1978. The Hornets stormed to the Fourth Division title. The following season they reached the semi-finals of the League Cup & won promotion to Division Two.
