Martin Taylor

Posted on: Thu 23 Jun 2011

Martin Taylor starred as a goalkeeper with the Rams in an 11-year playing spell and rejoined the Rams as part of Nigel Clough's backroom team from Burton Albion in January 2009.

Taylor moved to the Brewers in the summer of 2004 to take a player/coach role after a long career in the professional game.

He arrived at Derby in the summer of 1986 from non-league Mile Oak Rovers as a promising youngster and went on to play over 100 games for the club.

The Tamworth-born stopper was named player of the year in 1993/94 having played in every minute of every game, but a badly broken leg in October 1994 set him back.

Some 29 months later he was back in a Derby shirt with the Rams in the Premier League before his Baseball Ground career came to an end on an emotional testimonial occasion against Everton in May 1997 - when, true to form in these games, he scored a last-minute penalty.

During his time at Derby, Taylor was loaned out to Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United, Crewe Alexandra and Wycombe Wanderers - who he joined upon his release.

He was a part of the Wycombe side that reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in 2001 and played almost 300 times for the Chairboys, before short spells at Barnsley and Telford United ahead of his move to Burton.
