Sir Graham Taylor

[brentastonb6]

Maybe rename Bodymoor Heath - or parts of it - after SGT, after all he did a great job in re-juvenating the set up there.  He was a great grass-roots man and understood the importance of getting the academies right at football clubs.  I agree with others when they say naming parts of Villa Park, itself, should be reserved for the likes of Saunders, McGregor, Ramsay etc.

Agree strongly - Taylor was massively influential but those three do fall into legendary status imo

I think the North Stand should be the Graham Taylor stand, the Witton Lane should be the Ron Saunders Stand and the naming rights for BMH should be sold to one of Tonys mates for £75 million just like Everton have done.

I wish we could do something a bit more timeless and unique, like a giant mural we could add to at appropriate times, or a pertinent quote from Sir Graham printed in such a way that everyone who comes past would see and know where he and were coming from.

I'd be up for shifting Tom Hanks' image and quote from the Academy walls and putting one of Sir Graham's up instead too.

Like the idea of mural/mosaics, you could cover the range of legendary Villains over the back of the New North Stand. Villa famous quotes along the roofline of all the stands.

How about -

'The line between success and failure is so thin that you don't believe either and just enjoy your life.'

He said this after the Derby home game in 1989/90.

I remember and then Arthur Cox then said something about losing spoils the Sunday roast

Oh and fair play to the Preston fans. Despite the amount of them acting like complete bellends, they were great during the 2 tributes.
