Former players - where are they now?

Andy Taylor is part of the coaching team taking temporary charge at Bolton:

The old Baseball ground was always a difficult place to go, especially if you weren’t carrying a baseball bat.

It was also a difficult place to play football. Wellies being the required footwear.

What about that game where play was held up while someone had to paint a new penalty spot because they couldn’t see the old one?

Can you imagine the state that the undercroft must have been in? Different times.

Thought he was at Whealdstone or whatever they’re called?

Well, I suppose he did win a few games…

Hope it works out for him and the Moors

He was, their fans are accusing him of jumping ship at the first opportunity.

Doesn’t seem like they’re that fussed about him leaving.

Solihull now have Matt Taylor, Stephen Ward, Conor Wilkinson and Joss Labadie.

Those were some dark days :sweat_smile:

Hope Taylor does well, can’t speak for his time at Shrewsbury but Walsall FC was a very difficult club to manage back then, in fact we still were a year ago. Taylor seemed a nice guy though and hope he does well.
