Graham Taylor "Do I Not Like That"

For any of yiz who haven't seen this before, or even if you have, so worth another view.  The story of England's disastrous WC1994 qualifying campaign, some absolutely golden moments of footage throughout. 

It's like watching The Royal Family when they're sitting on the bench  

Have it on video in me mams somewhere
Used to always watch it when in need of a laugh!
Carlton Palmer

graham taylor , the manager who deemed Carlton Palmer good enough for international football

Taylor is a top football man, and, as said,  deserves credit for helping mcgrath. Press treatment of him, and the now revered Bobby Robson was shameful, they hounded both during their reigns

Up there with the best football documentaries of all time. Savage Harsh on Taylor, Lawrie McMenamy and Phil Neal and I think Taylor was very bitter with the editing. Neal is one of the most decorated players in the English game but he was made to look an idiot, the programme basically ended his career. Taylor may have been a nice man but his style of football was medieval. Alan Smith for Gary Lineker ! Swedes 1 Turnips 0 was the forerunner of the Muppets turning up at Gannon Park

Remember Graham Taylor being interviewed on ITV on the Saint and Gravsie show (I think) and the two were messing around beofre Elton Welsby turned to Graham Taylor and said "And now here's someone to important to joke around about, Graham Taylor!". A decent man who was always available to the media and they crucified him because of it. That speech he gave beofre the Poland game was imspirational and he had the respect of the players. But, God, did that man know nothing about international football! My favourite part of the doc was the "Hit Les! Hit Les! Hit Les!" and nobody was paying any attention to him. One of the best docs EVER about football.
