Steven Jeffrey Taylor was born in Royton, Oldham on 18th October 1955 and served his football apprenticeship with Bolton Wanderers where he signed professional in October 1973. A prolific goalscorer he netted 16 goals in 40 appearances before a £38,000 transfer to Oldham Athletic in October 1977. He scored 25 goals in 47 games for Oldham and was transferred to Luton Town for £75,000 in January 1979. An unsuccessful spell at Luton saw him sold on again for the same fee to Mansfield Town where he fared little better before £35,000 brought him back to Lancashire and Burnley where he scored 37 goals in 86 games. Then followed spells with Wigan Athletic (30 games 7 goals), Stockport County (26-8), Rochdale (84-42), Preston (5-2), Burnley again (45-6) and Rochdale again 17-4) playing the final League game of his career in March 1989. He spent a lengthy time out of football before being a surprise appointment as Mossley manager in August 1993. He was soon found to be out of his depth and his lack of managerial experience became quickly evident and after only one win in 13 games which included a couple of heavy defeats Taylor left 'by mutual agreement'. Taylor made just 4 appearances for Mossley scoring 1 goal. |
