Style of Play
Bob Taylor was primarily a goal poacher. His goals were often unspectacular, and he lacked the pace necessary to chase long balls. Instead he relied heavily on his sense of timing; of being in the right place at the right time. He was also adept at holding the ball up in order to bring other players into the game. Taylor was "all effort" and did not shy away from the physical side of football. He has been described by West Bromwich Albion club historian Tony Matthews as "Strong and powerful both on the ground and in the air and a perpetual hard worker".
