Career
His haul of 32 goals for Walsall in season 1959-1960 remains a record from the left wing. Taylor was best known for his powerful shooting skills and the accuracy of his left foot. Such was the power in his left boot, Walsall fans of his era would claim that "his left leg was out of proportion to his right".
Supporters would also eulogise that, when he shot at the "Railway End" goal at Fellow's Park, and happened to miss, the speed of the ball would be such, as to knock the rust off an old tea-sales caravan parked at that education
On his retirement from professional football, Taylor, a quiet, modest man, worked as a painter and decorator. Following his death in 2005, Walsall F.C. have promised to build a permanent memorial for Taylor.
