Peter Taylor

What fascinates me about Peter Taylor is the unlikely pairing on his resume: a chemist and a career football man living in the same person. From Southend-on-Sea, he became one of English football's great journeymen managers, taking charge of Leicester, Crystal Palace, Hull, Brighton and even Kerala Blasters in India. Managers who get called to so many clubs are usually the trusted craftsmen brought in to steady or rebuild a ship, not the headline-chasers. I have a soft spot for that kind of figure: the one who quietly keeps the game turning, decade after decade, wherever the job needs doing.
