Just seen this - hit me like a sledge-hammer. Great man.
Never forget what he did for me after my old man passed away as a kid.

Really sad to hear that, an absolute gentleman and gave me some of my favourite moments as a Villa supporter.

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

Did the Wolves fans like him?

Hopefully everyone will be in their seats ten minutes before KO on Saturday

Genuinely saddened. Met him when I was little and had my picture took with him which ended up in me and my hero in Roy of the Rovers. Saved the club from the abyss first time. One of the nicest guys in football. RIP and thoughts to his family.

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.

Arguably our best 3 players over the last 30 years

Gutted. A great manager for us and a likeable, humble guy.

RIP.

Signed McGrath, Platt and Yorke.

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

ormondroyd was like ronaldo against everton

Met Graham Taylor  in Hinckley , he was a lovely gentlement  RIP true lengend ...

Saw him having lunch with (presumably) his wife at a local garden centre a couple of months ago. He looked a little overweight but otherwise OK. If anything he looked a bit bored!

Very sad news - one of the few managers we've had in recent years that genuinely gave us many great days out and mostly happy experiences.  Swindon in particular comes to mind.

Gutting news. The job he did in turning us round when we were on the floor should never be forgotten and rightly puts him up there as a Villa great. I'm sad that I never got to meet him. Such sad news.
