realmadrid Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not the best of images but one of my early pictures as Graham Taylor and Aston Villa visit Muirton Park on 4th August 1988. A true Watford legend.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Can only echo other posters comments about his punditry work, mainly on Radio 5 live,always knowledgeable, enthusiastic and witty, even after all the shit the gutter press flung at him when he was England manager.

Diamonds are Forever Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 On 12/01/2017 at 16:40, Bully Wee Villa said: Yes, people forget that many of the key players who did well in 1990 retired from international football, went shit or got injured during his tenure, while the majority of the squad that did well in 1996 had yet to develop into international quality players. He didn't have a lot to work with, and was a bit unlucky too... they really could've taken 4 or 6 points off the Netherlands and only ended up with one. Got really unlucky with refereeing decisions in the second Netherlands game especially. Always took to him after the Impossible Job documentary, thought he came across a really genuine guy and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Bishop Briggs Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 My favourite Taylor moment was the look on Gary Lineker's face when he was substituted in his last game. Did I like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Gifton Noel-Williams on being a young player at Watford under Taylor: That's a brilliant wee bit of reading. Heartwarming stuff. What book is that from CCH?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
