Do I not like that! Real shame, was a lovely man

Quite a shock to see this. Very sad news. RIP Sir Graham.

Terrible, terrible news.  A true gentleman who saved us when we were on the abyss. I also hope that the club mark his work with us with a lasting tribute in his name - what that is, i don't know but this great man deserves a suitable memory.  That day at Goodison will live with us forever.

Minutes silence on saturday, of course.

Shocked. RIP.

If ever someone deserved a stand naming after them it would Sir Graham
Anyone have any ideas which stand we should petition to get re-named ?

Totally gutted.  Taken too soon.  Thanks for the memories.

Terrible news

My favourite manager, a true gentleman

[Drummond]

I'll never forget the rendition of Graham Taylor's Claret and Blue Army at Goodison Park. May 1990 his final game in that first stint. It was love.

[villabear]

He always came across as a dignified and lovely down to earth bloke.

I was there on that day at Crewe when 2-0 down at half time and at Swindon when we got promoted.  Those days will live with me for a long time.

Thank you and RIP Sir Graham.

Many condolences to his family and friends.

Awful news that Sir Graham has died so young, he was evidently a true gentleman and a class act as both a manager and a human being.

Easily my biggest regret as a Villa fan is booing Taylor after the Sunderland game during his second spell in 2002/03. I was only 12 at the time and we'd just barely stayed up after years of being top 6/7, but I should have known better.

I'm sure he'd have forgiven you, he wasn't the grudge-bearing sort.

[West Derby Villan]

Terrible terrible news. He was a True Villa Legend, saved us and turned us round. Sir Graham Taylor RIP.

[Fin Feds Dad]

Awful news - met him a few times at the cricket - absolute gentleman.
