Footballers from the MN2S Talent Roster have been paying tribute to late England manager over the weekend.

Graham Taylor is one of the most successful managers in English football history. His storied career saw him helm Watford FC, Lincoln City, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and of course the England national team. He was also the chairman of Watford.

After sadly passing away last Thursday, thousands of heartfelt tributes from fans, players and fellow managers have come forward.

Former England goalkeeper David Seaman described Taylor as a ‘such a good man’.

John Barnes, who played for Watford and England under Graham Taylor’s management, described his former boss as a “huge influence” and a “great man” in an interview with Soccer AM. Andy Cole sent prayers to the great man, while fellow English manager Harry Redknapp gave a moving tribute of his own on Match of the Day.

Tributes poured in from countless other players, too. The FA itself said it was “deeply saddened” to hear of Graham’s passing.

“Everyone” at Watford FC, the club most strongly associated with Graham Taylor, was “deeply saddened” to hear of his death. The club hailed him as their “most successful manager”.
