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.

Peter John Taylor (born 3 January 1953) is an English former footballer, who was last manager of Canvey Island. He was previously manager at Dartford, Enfield, Southend United, Dover Athletic, Leicester City, Brighton and Hove Albion, Hull City, Crystal Palace, Kerala Blasters, Stevenage Borough, Wycombe Wanderers, Bradford City and (twice) Gillingham, Maldon & Tiptree.
