Graham Taylor

Graham Taylor is the sort of football man I measure by warmth rather than silverware. He lifted Watford from the lower divisions all the way to prominence and then took the England job from 1990 to 1993, a tenure the press treated harshly. Yet what endures is his decency, the reason he remains genuinely beloved in England and was honored with the OBE. I have never believed a coach's worth lies only in trophies. The respect he commanded from players and supporters alike says more, and his passing in 2017 left the game noticeably poorer in character.
