Platt, Yorke and McGrath were brilliant signings. Chose us and took us up and then left for the job he really wanted. Great football man.

Signed McGrath, Platt and Yorke.

(also Ormondroyd and Callaghan, but we'll gloss over that).

I hope Lineker chokes on his false praise

Shocked and upset. Graham Taylor R.I.P.

Arguably the Villa manager who took the club the furthest distance in the shortest time period.

Goodison Park, May 1990.  The greatest ever away day without a trophy at the end of it.  Thank you, Sir.

I wonder if he'll get a decent reception at the Molineux from both sides on Saturday?

Did the Wolves fans like him?
