## Resource

FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, we look back at when Rod Stewart joined the lads to discuss his lifelong love of football, growing up in a football-obsessed household, and the hilarious rivalry he shared with fellow music icon Elton John. Rod opens up about their competitive friendship in the 70s, outrageous Christmas presents, wild nights before heading off to watch Watford F.C., and the legendary moment Elton had his “Blondes Have More Fun” balloons shot down. He also reflects on scoring a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge during Soccer Six — much to the delight of his mate George Best.
