A really cool guy in a lot of ways. Adaptive and funny. Had a hard time with England but all of us football fans, even glaswegian Rangers guys like me, miss him really. A sincere and good man. ⚽

@@davidletham2521 a real good man mate believe me .. he went to see a mate of mines family when my mate was Locked up and went to visit him also out of his own time

I agree, they also gaslighted football fans into abusing Taylor. Same is happening to Southgate right now, despite him being the most successful England coach since Sir Alf Ramsey. In fact, Southgate is getting it worse because social media didn’t exist back when Taylor was in charge. It’s just another avenue that simpletons use to spread hate and abuse.

The tabloid press in the 90’s and 00’s before the phone hacking scandal were a disgrace.

I thought the turnip was one of the greatest headlines in sport

Agree and there worse now.

I know he was a human being and probably a decent man but his selections were poor especially donkey palmer tactics were out of his depth and he surrounded himself with clueless coaches like yes man Neal and Mcmenemy. The players were also a disgrace which didn’t help him. But what a wonderful job he did at Watford

It’s the same story time and time again. Just different names

@@stewartgrindlay9760 i don’t think they’re quite as bad these days.

At 49:10 you can see a UDA/UFF banner the fans are holding, around the same time the UDA had just shot up a pub in Derry killing 8 people & the year shot up a Bookmakers killing 5, these are the same neo-Nazi fans who would riot in Dublin about 2 years later.

This is a real, real test 😄

Yes, nodding dog, that's right!

It was obvious he was going to do it because you could see the space towards the right of him

@@waynelittle646 plus koeman was superb at freekicks

I’ve watched it back and can’t believe his positioning, it was that bad. He just as well join the wall and leave to goal empty. Oh sorry he did.

Yes, I remember watching it at the time and I couldn't believe that Seaman was stood so far to the other side of the goal. Koeman saw it, like we all did, and the rest is history. When ever I think of Seaman, I always think of this incident - and there were many more mistakes he made over the years. I never understood the hype. He was very overrated.

@JamesWho1 he missed the first attempt. Called back for encroachment. The same thing happened for England's free kick. But the ref didn't order a retake.

Ayy???

Out of his depth? More like the people and the structure around him, were out of their depth. It took foreign Managers like Klopp, Guardiola and many more others such as footballers aswell to make the English understand, the ball is meant to be passed, not hoofed up the field every 5 seconds. And the English still don't understand this basic concept. They wonder why, they haven't won anything, especially with a nation, that's obsessed more with their football league and than their national team, not that they should be. But some sort of balance would be, okay.

With Bradley Walsh as Phil Neale, and Lawrey McMenemy as second-hand used car salesman, Lonnie Erkart!

@@AndyPass1976 I got one thing to say to you Hyundai lol

@@billybutcher4951 Three cheers for Ramirez!

@@AndyPass1976 I’m gonna rewatch it now lol

@@billybutcher4951lol 😂

Paul Gascogne is a football Genius.

@@pommygeezer9309 When he was fit, yes. Did you watch him play for England between '92 and '95? He was unfit and massively overweight. He played well in about three games in that qualifying group, and poorly in the rest.

The more I see clips of David seaman the more I can’t understand how this man was a goalkeeper for England for so long

The Ronaldinho free kick aswell!! 😂😂

Good point. One I overlooked

Seaman was tosh. Brazil 🇧🇷 the freekick. Never forgave him. Robbed a living

Seaman was more focused on his fucking ponytail.

I’d have given Bobby Robson another World Cup, having come so close in 1990. FA should have waited until the end of the tournament, before deciding whether to make a change.

Barnes lived off 1984 till he quit

Master stroke by Alex Ferguson to buy Sheringham to replace Cantana.

It got to the semis of the euros 2 years later with a couple of changes so wasnt all that bad he wasnt harse enough of gazza he needed him fit and he wasn't

@@imemine8605 it also got to the semi finals of the previous World Cup. Graham Taylor prematurely threw away some his ‘tools’ in Chris Waddle and Peter Beardsley.

@@Inglese001 after watching the documentary, i hadnt when i wrote the comment i still don't understand why it was only top of the group that qualifield

@@imemine8605 I think it was top two that qualified. In this case, Norway and Holland.

@@imemine8605 yeah, immediately before and after Graham’s tenure, England reach semifinals, which is pretty damning evidence that he was the problem. A decent man nonetheless.

He picked the team, Carlton Palmer above all the talent that was about at the time, you can see him losing it with him but he kept picking him!

​​​@@howwwwwyyyyy No..action was needed from the bench in all these games shown here..mcmenemy looks more foolish than Taylor..stop trying to be contrary. Xx

​@@hensmithers9687like a pair of parrots ,no input just repeating what Taylor said

Who appointed them?

Mcmenemy the biggest clown going

Nothing, absolutely fucking nothing!!

weak mentality. Not going to ever change

They didn't fire him, he'd already announced he was leaving for PSV before the World cup.

@@lucasm3879 FA told Bobby they wouldn’t renew his contract after the World Cup. He knew he was going, so looked for another job. Bobby Robson would never have left the England job for PSV, if it had been down to him.

@@Inglese001 Yeah you're probably right mate, I was just pointing out he wasn't actually fired. It was a similar thing with Terry Venables leaving before Euro '96.

Tony Adams, world class 🤣

The yellow card and free kick on the edge of the penalty box was an utterly disgraceful decision given that they had introduced red cards for this kind of offence relatively recently (after many incidents like the 1980 FA cup final) and yet didn't apply the rule consistently here at all.

He was a good manager in the 80’s at Villa and Watford. I agree that speech still really gets my hairs standing up. Unfortunately International football is a different game and he wasn’t suited to it. The only manager at the time who was really suited to it was Terry Venables, he’d managed Barcelona in the 80’s.

Taylor didn’t pick them!

They were only really friendlies though. They actually did alright against Brazil.

I think basically what you've put here. Southgate has done so many things right which other managers haven't. How can the only manager to get England to a Euro final be so unpopular with the fans?

@@alwilfrid 1. Because most of them are morons who can't see how much better we are because they don't really understand what they're looking at on the pitch. 2. Southgate doesn't fit what these idiots idea of a man or an England manager should be. He subconsciously threatens their masculinity because he is apparently a caring, thoughtful human being. He also supports anti racist and anti homophobic platforms (like take the knee) which makes them feel uncomfortable because they don't like it being implied that deep down they're racist and homophobic, which some of them are. They 'booo' gestures of equality because they see them as partizan political issues rather than support for people who are being oppressed or poorly treated. I think at least 75% of fans who think he should lose his job would also say that 'wokeness' is taking over our country and values.. which is of course a load of bullshit dreamed up by politicians and media trying to create a false narrative in order to scare people into thinking their way of life is somehow being taken away from them and therefore vote for certain political parties.

@@alwilfrid Because Southgate has the most talented English generation in at least two decades and he is squandering it badly.

@@TheSt1092 Our defence isn't that good and we can't play all our gifted midfielders at once - football isn't like that. Bellingham, Madison, Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Palmer and Saka are all too similar to be playing at the same time.

Southgate: 🙄

You're 30 years too late

Scum

excellent point

Or the world class Ince who was only elevated by Venables What a tool, Robson and Venables showed how you set up a team, and who to pick The next occasion England looked like this was vs Romania 2000

@@jamesburke2094 I mean Thomas should have been the option if Ince was injured or suspended.

Gazza was overweight and unfit from ‘92 to ‘95. He was making excuses for his own under performing, he was supposed to be the star player.

Norway and Holland

They haven't always had the players. They're usually just average players who have been hyped up beyond all reason. The top nations have always had better players than England. Says it all when a lot of "experts" say Gazza was our greatest player. His biggest clubs were Spurs and Lazio. The top top players don't look back on their careers with peaks of Spurs and Lazio. Only trophy he "won" in his entire career was an FA Cup where he went off injured after 15 minutes. I'm not including the ones he won in Scotland. If Rangers aren't winning it then Celtic are. Who cares?
