As a midfielder, Taylor played with South-East Essex Schools and Canvey

for £80,000 (122 league matches, 33 goals). After his
England appearances as a third division player, he joined Tottenham

around £200,000 (123 league matches, 31 goals) before

for £150,000 (56 league matches, eleven goals), throughout
which, he was loaned to Oldham Athletic FC in January 1983 for a further

Management Career |
Club(s) |
Taylor was
sacked as manager of Leicester City FC after a miserable start on 30
September 2001,
but soon took the reigns at Brighton & Hove Albion FC in the middle of
October 2001, he resigned, despite success, on 22 April 2002, because of a
lack of budget. In November
2002, he took the road north to Hull City AFC and guided them into the
higher echelons of the Football League. Eriksson returned Taylor to his
role as England-U21 manager in July 2004. Success with Hull drew attention
and he was soon returning to Crystal Palace FC in June 2006. But in
2007, in January, McClaren sacked Taylor from his England role, wanting a
full-timer in that position, and in October, he was sacked by Palace for a
lack of success. In November, he returned to the Conference with Stevenage
Borough, but left after only six months on 28 April 2008 after failure to
get them into the Football League. On 29 May 2008, Taylor became
manager of Wycombe Wanderers FC, only to be dismissed, despite being
promoted, on 9 October 2009. Taylor returned to management on 16 February
2010 with Bradford City AFC, and despite being linked with the Newcastle
United FC assistant manager's job in January 2011, Taylor was sacked by
Bradford on 24 February 2011 after poor results. He was appointed trainer
and manager of Bahrain national team in July 2011. |

Notes
Peter Taylor, highly successful
England under-21 coach deposed to make way for Howard Wilkinson after
Glenn Hoddle's tenure as England manager ended, returned to take charge
of the senior team for the friendly match against Italy in November 2000.
Highly dubious as the manager of
England, he was only intended to assist Bobby Robson in November 2000
alongside Steve McLaren. But Newcastle United refused to release
Robson, for fear of losing him permanently to the England hot-seat.
The F.A., having already having the permission from their respective
clubs, allowed Taylor and McLaren to lead out England.
He fielded an experimental side of younger players and,
controversially, handed the captain's armband for the first time to
David Beckham.
After
Sven-Göran Eriksson took charge, Taylor lent his assistance, staying
on as a part-time
member of the England coaching staff until season's end.
