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

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. You’re spot on with that analysis.

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 Spot on about Taylor.

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. What an excellent read which sparks in to light from the very off!
