Taylor and his England team always had problems with injured players limiting the team he could play which comprised performances and results, the players he had were not good at tactical adaptability and their play was slow and too often predictable, qualifying for tournaments in these circumstances was unlikely, the team was worse than in 1990✌️❤️🇬🇧

Constant injured players and a team incapable of tactical flexibility and slow off the ball movement and slow passing moves made the England team back then not very good and some players weren’t really good enough for international tournament football ✌️❤️🇬🇧

A good man, manager and human being, So badly missed Lincoln City champions 4th division 1975/76

It tells you so much about our media particuarly at that time they were hounding, harrassing and abusing Graham Taylor. A very good and lovely man, but yet they let monsters like Jimmy Savile roam around freely doing his evil work.

Good at Watford, that's all

I personally think that looking at the players and their work ethics, it's clear to see that the confidence has vanished from the squad. 2 years ago losing the world cup semi final to Germany in 1990 on penalties is something that they never recovered from. Some key players retired after that tournament and the new players lacked the experience to deal with the pressure of playing for your country.

That's what Ian Wright was about 26:00

I met carlton palmer in Portugal at a golf resort. He's a really lovely bloke ❤ champagne and strawberries for breakfast 😋 Legend

Hi. Do you remember how long the whole experience was? The website says 2.5 hours but I've seen some others commenting that the via ferrata outside was shorter than advertised, so I was wondering if this was the same.

Lawrie McMenemy, sneaky fucker. Sat with his mouth shut when the chips were down. Offered no help whatsoever.

And the players now still get there money and the manager gets the chop.

Unfortunately being a "decent", "good", "nice", "lovely", man doesn't make you a good manager for England. We were awful under Taylor. Carlton Palmer? Do me a favour.

Graham Taylor came across as a top bloke . Didn’t deserve the crap he got from uk media. But let’s be honest , what a load of crap he had to choose from . Deary me , some of those names wouldn’t look out of place at League 1 level . And as for his staff . Mcmenemy ? Really ? And Phil Neal ? Probably was on 100k just to keep saying yeah .. yeah .. yeah . What a depressing era for the national team.

Seeing them train at lilleshall brought back a lot of memories, i spent many a month there at the rehab centre and my brother was in the second group of young lads in the national school of excellence

Graham Taylor may of been out of his depth as a England manager however he was allways a throughly decent human being

Brilliant stuff. Graham u ledg

Word is Taylor had something on Neil. Dont know what but the rumour was he caught him in flagrante with the tea lady

53:20 what an arrogant twit

Macmenni? Probably spelt it wrong what the fuck was he getting paid for apart from clapping like a seal the fuckin fa board average age about 70 milking all the money if it been three decades back there would have been an uprising!!!!! Did you see those decrebid bastard's

Good club manager, out of his lane with England. Phil 'Zico' Neal, great great player, passed over at LFC for King Kenny, if only they'd seem Souness coming... 😅

Feel sorry for Taylor I don’t think the injuries helped and key players like Lineker had retired Shearer and Wright was out of form. Gazza was not the same player after that injury in 1991

How did Carlton Palmer play for England he was Shit

Dont think players think differently than you from anywhere in the country .!! Some useless advice for national team players from Graham 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. What weve got to do is go to Norway and if at all possible not lose 😂😂. Such inspirational words. 😂😂😂😂😂

Taylor , Neal and Macmnemy sat on the bench talking about the press was funny 😂😂 not trying to work out how to change the game.

Graham Taylor a true Watford legend 🐝

Since it was a low ebb overall for the Home Nations, I wonder if Andy Roxburgh and Terry Yorath (then-managers of Scotland and Wales respectively) were inclined to have their qualifying campaigns documented? I don't know whether or not the drama can match on par with Taylor's journey.

To be fair to Taylor the Holland game was one of the biggest robberies in the history of the sport.

I was one of the many critics of Taylor back in the day. I was wrong. the pressure the man was under from the job and especially the press was incredible.

Just telling your colleague there the refs got me the sack 😂😂. Poor guy the media slaughtered him.

People talk about about the so called ‘’Golden generation ‘’ and their failure to win anything , take a look at at the stellar names available to Taylor during his time as England manager .What he did with the Italia 90 squad he inherited qualifies him as the worst England coach of all time and the blame lies squarely with the muppets who appointed him….Woefully out of his depth at international level , tactically stuck in the stone age , totally in love with the sound of his own voice and deff the only person on earth that thought Carlton Palmer should play for England …not once , but 18 times ..

You had to really feel for Graham Taylor. A real gentleman hounded by the media on all sides, by the tabloid guttersnipes and the broadsheet pseudo-intelligensia. I had the pleasure to meet him 10 years after this documentary, and he was generous with his time and his football memories.

Bunch of 500 year old baldy men running the FA. Fantastic!

All the great material that was taken for Mike Bassett. Especially the press conference before Holland match

One of most obvious Red Cards ever but no..Yellow Taylor didn't deserve that BS

4:24 🤣

What a total 💩 Turnip Head Taylor was!

What happened at 11:30? It seems as if someone is upset with Gascoigne. It seems to m as if Taylor was ahead of his time in certain aspects. The media were responsible for his downfall. You can tell that they looked down on him wanted him to fail so they could have a villain to conjure a narrative for.

1:04:00..... his stand up comedy ripping into rob shepherd was hilarious. Thoroughly good human being was Graham...That speech at the end v the dutch game was spine tingling....RIP GT

They had the team practicing celebrations after a goal, I repeat they actually had the balls to try teach the team how to celebrate scoring goals in training, training! Now I've heard that in boxing a coach would tell his fighter to raise their hands after the fight to show good for the judges but I think footballers know when and how to celebrate scoring a goal, I mean what monumental waste of time. You can see Platt thinking why the fuck are we doing this ridiculous shit, we are not actors if we have something to celebrate I'm sure we will know about it, shouldn't we be practicing penalties or something, Ffs I mean fuck me gently, No wonder we had problems.

The way the game was officiated in Holland always made me wonder whether FIFA had given assurances to the Yanks that English hooligans would not be permitted to enter their country for that World Cup. Koeman's yellow card just defies all rationale.

One of the best football documentaries ever RIP Graham Taylor

I am sure there are a lot of Taylor-haters on here, but he was unlucky with injuries, and also had the thickest players ever. They always did what he told them not to do. And to be honest, most of them were not that good. Even if England had qualified by the skin of their teeth, we would have been embarrassed in USA 94.

Slightly disappointed the Usyk team didn't bring up Ngannou fight but it doesn't matter. Usyk is going to take him to school!

“My advice to the next England manager is: just make sure your team doesn’t lose!”

england mens football are always rubbish!

Lee sharpe on the bench says it all. You play football with your feet greame. God bless. Z

Bad to hear Charles Hughes a terrible man. Put English football back 30 years

Turnip Taylor!

40.30 "Get y'self stripped son。 Just sit in here with whilst you are doing that." N.Clough sits whilst clearly unable to fulfill the former duty 😂 Is it me or do all these players just seem a bit thick? The pan of the subs bench on 21 min is a bit like something off a monty python sketch. With all do respect not a lot going on upstairs.

John Barnes was rubbish for England and i think the fact he was Jamaican not that he was black was the problem,the same as if a player calls himself Scottish but plays for England he would get stick, skin colour had nothing to do with it
