Steve Taylor

Steve Taylor Date of Birth: Oct 18, 1955

Born in Royton, hard-running and strong forward Steve played for a host of League clubs in the Greater Manchester area, netting regularly for each, but he was unable to reproduce his goalscoring abilities whenever he moved south.

With Luton struggling with major injury problems in January 1979 Steve was brought to Kenilworth Road by Luton manager David Pleat for £50,000 on the back of previous performances against the Hatters while he was with Bolton and Oldham.

Steve sadly failed to settle, managing only one goal in 20 appearances, before becoming part of the deal that brought Mike Saxby to Luton from Mansfield. He was not a success at Field Mill either but later spells at Burnley and Rochdale saw him back to his predatory best.

Steve later managed Mossley and was on the coaching staff at Oldham.
