Mike Taylor.
I’m not sure if anybody knows him on the forum or even if he used the forum at all but Mike was a really lovely fella. I only knew him because he used to live nearby and we’d bump into each other on the Town End every game. Always optimistic, loved (and knew) his football. North End through and through and away from the game just a really nice bloke.
RIP Mike, a real gentleman.
 
I found out about this from a neighbour who is 87, lives in Chorley and she used to go on the bus throughout the 50s to Deepdale to watch Finney.
Mike was certainly approaching 80. He used to update her on how North End were doing.
 
1-1 at half time I thought of him as he would have definitely been optimistic (unlike me). He would have been right too.
