catmag 336 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Seems like it's come out of the blue. Just listening to 5Live here and commentators/colleagues of his all in shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19834 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 that's genuinely upsetting. an impossible job is one the the greatest football docs ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26436 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I was too young to remember his England reign but as others have said, came across as a decent bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26911 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Despite the England business he came across as a genuine football person that just loved the game in a way I don't think the likes of Pardew and Allardyce will ever will.

Dr Gloom 19834 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 so many memorable quotes.  "can we not knock it?"  "what we don't want is to be caught quick break" - cut to exactly that happening to england  'you know we've been cheated, don't you - I'm a metre, I'm a metre" (to baffled linesman)   etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 336 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 No doubt the press who absolutely destroyed him will now be in gushing eugolgy mode. As others have said, and as many are saying on the radio at the moment, just a kind, lovely man who loved football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26911 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Â I remembering hearing this a while ago. Apparently used to jump on the train after Watford training and stand in the old gallowgate the odd time. Obviously a MMF rather than a MLF.

Park Life 70 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Decent bloke but shouldn't have been anywhere near the England job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26911 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Read about him being away from home as he was appointed England manager and a reporter jamming his foot in the door and asking his wife who was trying to get out with her wheelchair bound mother for an interview. She told him could he please move and she didn't do that type of stuff and he replied 'you better fucking start, then'. Â What vile people journalism has amongst it's ranks.

NJS 3982 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Taylor was a decent bloke but I think his football philosophy has been glossed over a bit - he was the first to take the shit from that bloke at Cambridge (John Beck?) about pomo and the​ rest of the long ball "science" to the nth degree. He laid the groundwork for the Allardyces of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
