Football has lost one of its true gentlemen...
Paul McGrath and Elton John are among those paying tribute to Graham Taylor, the former Watford, Aston Villa and England manager who’s passed away today aged 72.
“What a gentleman,” proffers Paul who played under him at Villa, while Elton, his former Watford Chairman, says: “He was like a brother to me.”
Devestated to hear of Graham's sad passing, what a gentleman. In my darkest days himself and Rita were always there for me #RipGrahamAHero
