Fan favourite Ian Taylor is next up in our popular Live Chat series.Following the success of supporter interaction with General Krulak, James Collins and Ashley Young, former midfield ace Tayls has agreed to take time out of his busy schedule to join the media team in a Q&A with supporters.Taylor will be online and interacting with fans for an hour on Wednesday from 7-8pm, alongside web editor Paul Brown and web writer Dan Harrison.Just like the General's session online, we are expecting masses of interest in the answers of Taylor as he goes through the questions one-by-one.Quiz him on anything - his favourite goal, his best memory, his dream team or how it felt to go from fan to icon over the space of a few years.Few players can claim the special affinity with Villa supporters which Ian Taylor held.He stood on the Holte End when he was a boy. He cheered Villa to League Cup glory over Manchester United in 1994 and was back at Wembley two years later. This time he was on the pitch, scoring the crucial second goal as they beat Leeds United in the 1996 final.And whenever he was out of the team through injury, he was frequently spotted among the fans, both home and away, invariably prompting a rendition of "There's only one Ian Taylor."He was a magnificent servant to the club, too. Maybe he arrived at Villa Park later than he would have liked, initially playing non-league football for Moor Green before making his mark in the professional game with Port Vale and Sheffield Wednesday, his contribution to the claret and blue cause was phenomenal.For nearly nine years, Taylor was an integral part of Villa's midfield, producing non-stop graft which was so beneficial to his team-mates.Essentially, he was a player's player but the fans loved him, too, appreciating that he was realising all their dreams of wearing the famous shirt.Don't miss out, make sure you're in and behind your computer as the Holte End hero gives you an insight into his claret and blue character.And remember there's plenty more to come in the weeks and months ahead.
I wonder if he'll be asked if he regrets confusing his role as 'Villa Legend' (tm) with his job working for an agent when he appeared on TV saying Villa should let Barry join Liverpool.Sorry, but it still irks.
