Martin Taylor (footballer born 1966)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Taylor (born 9 December 1966 in Tamworth, England) is a goalkeeping coach at Derby County.
A one-time apprentice coal miner, Taylor was signed from Mile Oak Rovers as understudy to Peter Shilton. After several short-term loan deals at lower-league clubs he became the Rams number one between the posts but suffered a double leg break in a game vs Southend United. Taylor missed the promotion season to the Premiership and lost his place to Russell Hoult and Mart Poom. During his spell at Derby he also spent time on loan at Carlisle United, Scunthorpe United, Crewe Alexandra and Wycombe Wanderers.
Taylor moved to Wycombe Wanderers in 1997. He scored a penalty in a shoot out (vs Wimbledon) on the way to a semi-final vs Liverpool in the 2001 FA Cup. He later played for Barnsley, Telford United and Burton Albion, where he went on to work as goalkeeping coach before joining Derby County.
