He had the indefinable quality that made you feel as though you knew him even though you'd never met and if you met him once you thought of him as a friend. Ironically, the only other man I'd say the same about was Terry Weir.
the one other living person who I would rank up there with Terry Weir and Graham Taylor would be Steve Stride - a true gent and villain.
Aston Villa will play Watford in a friendly as part of a tribute to the late Graham Taylor.The two clubs have agreed to face each other in memory of their former manager who sadly passed away in January.A date has not yet been set but is expected to be confirmed for this summer during the pre-season period.Taylor worked wonders at both clubs during an exceptional managerial career where he also led the England national team.His Watford side finished second in the First Division in 1983 and reached the FA Cup final in 1984.After 10 years at Vicarage Road the ex-boss moved to Villa in 1987 where he first won promotion to the top flight and then two seasons later claimed a second‑place finish.Details of the game and where it will be played will be announced by both clubs later this year.It’s expected to draw a big crowd as fans of both clubs, as well as Taylor’s friends, family and former work colleagues, all helped push for the arrangement.
I think it's right to have it at Watford anyway - we have already established that he was an even bigger deal to them than us.
