‘Sorry this is late!’ – Elton John settles £10 football bet with Gary Lineker

Sir Elton John has apologised to Gary Lineker for settling a £10 (€11.53) bet several weeks late after his beloved Watford Football Club lost to Leicester City.

Match Of The Day host Lineker shared a photo to social media which featured a handwritten card from the Rocket Man singer alongside a £10 note.

The card read: “Dear Gary, sorry this is late! With Christmas we were left a little short!

“Have a great new year. It was so great to see you! Thank you. Love Elton.”

Never let it be said that @eltonofficial doesn’t pay his debts. Leicester 2 Watford 0.
