Two reasons to loathe him now: he's a Tory and he's Macc's manager.
Sad news, indeed.
My condolences to his family and friends.
My abiding memory from his entertaining rollercoaster tenure as Alty's manager:
RUNCORN...0 ALTRINCHAM...3
Unibond League Premier Division
Saturday, 26th December 1998
There's nothing quite like a Boxing Day outing to the exotic climes of a blustery and rainy Runcorn and one of my enduring memories of this particular excursion relates to the Alty manager Bernard Taylor being rendered a fashion victim by his ill-advised decision to wear a pair of fancy beige slip-ons. I recall watching with a sense of increasing trepidation as he struggled to remain upright and slithered through the cloying mud along the touchline whilst undertaking his precarious trudge to the away dugout in front of the main stand.
I count myself fortunate enough to be one of the 630 people who can truthfully say 'I was there' when the discussion turns to that astonishing afternoon when Stuart Coburn both scored a goal and saved a penalty within the same game. This rarely-seen 'double' helped to propel Alty to the top of the league that day and they proceeded to attain promotion back to the Nationwide Conference just over four months later.
i was there that day and you are also forgetting concorde flew past as well a very memorable day it was
The World Cup may not be coming home.....but football has come home...to the place that invented it.
The England team has once again reached the semi final of a world cup, a cup they won in 1966, a cup we regularly qualify for and reach the quarters or last 16 at the very least....... they have restored hope and pride to a nation........we were a professional 45 mins of football from reaching a final we had half a chance of winning....
......can't say anything like that about Scotland can we?
Not from Scotland or a Scotland supporter, but it's hardly comparing like for like is it? England has a population over ten times larger than Scotland. For countries with an established history of playing football, you would expect countries with bigger populations to more regularly appear in finals.
Croatia?
