It was good to hear the ex-Wrexham, ex-Swansea City and Welsh international left-back on Radio 4 this morning explaining his latest project. He is backing the Professional Footballers Association drive to encourage more players like himself with a sub-continental background to take up the sport professionally. At present, the number of players of Asian heritage involved in the Premier League and Football League can be counted on ones fingers. It was a blow to Swansea City to lose Taylor to Aston Villa, but one suspects that he is now in a better place to further his plans, given the large Asian population of Birmingham, not to mention other English Midland cities.
