Post-retirement
Taylor is now an occasional football pundit for AVTV and can regularly be seen at Aston Villa games. During the 2007–08 season, he has been given a regular column as the final feature in Aston Villa's match programme, titled 'Tayl End'. Still held in very high esteem by Villa fans, he maintained his cult status in October 2005, when instead of sitting with the directors and VIPs for the second city derby against Birmingham City at St Andrew's, he was amongst the travelling Aston Villa contingent; Taylor did the same thing again in Villa's game against Birmingham City on 11 November 2007. He played for Villa in the 2007 Premier League All Stars charity tournament.
In August 2008 he became a match day summariser covering matches involving Derby County for BBC Radio Derby during the 2008–09 season.
In February 2011, Taylor rejoined Villa after being appointed club ambassador.
