Graham Taylor: Former England manager dies at 72

Former England manager Graham Taylor has died at the age of 72.

Taylor was a defender for Grimsby and Lincoln City before becoming a manager when he took over the latter in 1972.

He also had two spells at both Watford and Aston Villa - leading both to the runners-up spots in the old First Division - as well as having a stint at Wolverhampton Wanderers.




Taylor was appointed England manager in 1990 and spent just over three years at the helm of the national team

had the pleasure of meeting Graham Taylor once,such a nice down to earth person,R.I.P

Watched just about every game when he managed Lincoln through their record breaking season, great manager and as said previously a very down to earth person R.I.P

I liked him and felt sorry for him when the English press ripped him to shreds. He was a decent bloke. RIP GT
