'A big man with a big character and a big heart'. eltonofficial has paid this tribute to Oli Phillips in today's WatfordFC matchday programme watfordfc
Oli showing Elton John Terry Challis' famous allegorical painting which foretold the Hornets' rise up the football ladder.
That meteoric rise remains one of football’s great stories which our late sports editor was a key figure in the first chapter of, helping to pave the way for the music legend to become more than a fan by increasing his involvement at Vicarage Road. As a writer, a fan and a man, Oli Phillips was someone for whom I had great respect, and I was hugely saddened to hear of his passing.
The Watford Observer always has been, and still is, the place that I would go to read about the club, and in Oli Phillips we were all so fortunate to have someone who took coverage of a local football club to a different level. He was fair, he was insightful and he was thorough.
