RIP Peter Taylor

The 4th October 1990 saw the death of one of Footballs great characters a half of the greatest double act the game has seen.

Peter Thomas Taylor, was assistant to Brian Clough at Hartlepool, Derby, Brighton and Nottingham Forest.

He was legendary for his ability to spot young players with talent and the ability to go onto bigger things.

Clough's best years as a manager were those when Peter Taylor was by his side.

I think I can say that the Clough and Taylor statue at Derby was long overdue. For sure, some acknowledgement of Peter's contribution certainly was.

Clough without Taylor was like Morecambe without Wise, and it's rightly remembered that their contribution to Football is acknowledged as a double act.

RIP Peter Taylor, gone but not forgotten.
