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.

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 ?

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.

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.
