Former England manager Graham Taylor dies aged 72
Thursday, January 12 2017 |
Other than managing England, Taylor’s highlights were arguably leading both Villa and Watford to runners-up spots in the old First Division.
Elton said in a statement:
"I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Graham's passing.
He was like a brother to me. We shared an unbreakable bond since we first met. We went on an incredible journey together and it will stay with me forever. He took my beloved Watford from the depths of the lower leagues to unchartered territory and into Europe. We have become a leading English club because of his managerial wisdom and genius.
This is a sad and dark day for Watford. The club and the town. We will cherish Graham and drown our sorrows in the many brilliant memories he gave us.
I love you Graham. I will miss you very much. My thoughts go out to Rita, Joanne, Karen and the whole Taylor family."
