Comments on: Forgotten hero: in memory of Peter Taylor http://nffcblog.com/2006/09/25/forgotten-hero-in-memory-of-peter-taylor/ The mindless ramblings of a Forest fan half imbued with a probably misguided sense of optimism..

Whilst Brian had a unique management style , an outspoken character with immense carisma whose magnetic TV presence could be felt as if he were with you in the living room. Peter was quite the opposite , a quiet yet unassuming man who without doubt substantially contributed to the successes at Derby and Nottingham. It is right and proper to honour the ‘greats’ of our era and Peter Taylor was part of the great Clough era – let him be honoured and remembered too!

I remember seeing teams jump for joy when they beat nottingham forest in a regular game but to them it was like winning the world cup! Great team and great partnership. I really enjoyed watching them.

Taylor went to manage our most hated rivals, that will never be forgotten by the club.

Undeniably great tho’ he was, Cloughie was never as effective as when he had Taylor alongside and that’s not just at Forest. Of course, the reverse applies. They were a very effective partnership and Peter’s contribution to our success should be more widely recognised.
Having read the 3 biographies of Brian Clough plus his own autobiography this Taylor factor is certainly acknowledged – particularly in Patrick Murphy’s book. I agree, it’s a pity that the club hasn’t sought to make more of Peter Taylor’s input to THE team of the 70s.

I remember the first home match after he died where due to Clough’s intransigence there wasn’t even a minute’s silence. It’s time that Peter Taylor’s pivotal role is recognised by the club

The idea of having a statue of both Taylor and Clough at the entrance (if the day should ever arise) of the new “main Stand” would truly be amazing.

This would signify the true value of what these two-fantastic men “together” achieved the English game, for the history of Nottingham Forest FC but more importantly an acknowledgement the crucial role in which the Taylor of those men really played during the crazy heights in which we reached.

The sad irony of this is that we could all be in for a long wait for such happenings as without the floored personalities in Taylor & Clough the days of a “second coming”
Seem rather ill fitting grey.

May the “new world” of Calderwod’s upbeat calmness, along with Pleats tapping into the scouting would of “youth” bring us salvation because it’s awfully lonely down here.
