Seeing as everyone is talking about Taylor, so am I. Here's a blog about Graham Taylor - sort of about his time at #AstonVilla but mostly about the incredibly different way he was perceived in English football during the mid-90s

This week @jamierooney.bsky.social and myself are joined by Aston Villa fan @stumuz.bsky.social on By Far The Greatest Team podcast to look at Graham Taylor's #AVFC team - a rescue mission which not only set Villa back on their feet but got Taylor the England job

Justice after watching Howard’s Way…… it has brought a tear to my eye.
Can’t wait to hear you guys on Nessun Dorma chatting about this team 💙

@garynaylor85.bsky.social

Gary mate, do you remember the last time Arsenal went to Old Trafford on opening day of the season?
It was a classic. I think 4-1 Utd . With an absolute screamer of a volley from Webb .

@garynaylor85.bsky.social

Congratulations Gary, David Moyles has just made the signing of the summer!!
Grealish will be absolutely on fire, as the heartbeat of a team .

@garynaylor85.bsky.social

Hi Gary, I’m just after listening to your superb deep dive into Euro 88. I was just curious as to where you guys get all the extended highlights? Is there somewhere else other than YouTube? Thanks mate

@garynaylor85.bsky.social

Hi Gary , we was chatting on the patrons episode at Nessus Dorma.

I actually thought of a couple of other players for the “injury ruined their amazing potential 11” Neil Webb & Paul Lake 👍

Hi Graham, really enjoying the podcast
I’m gonna listen to the Oxford episode this coming week.
If I had to pick a favourite team so far, it’s gonna have to be Sampdoria

Hi Gary , I’m subscribed to Nessun Dorma so listen to you whenever you’re on.
I sent you a message after watching an absolute classic old FA cup tie involving Everton.
It was against Oldham in 89/90 season.
Finished up 2-2 .
I miss FA Cup games like that . A classic!

Hi Jamie can I suggest Graham Taylor’s 89/90 Villa team.
It’s pure Elton Welsby Big Match nostalgia.
Finished up 2nd in the league with class players like
Ormandroyd , Olney and Spink but sprinkled with class players like McGrath , Cowans and Platt .
