Farewell, Neil Taylor

 At the tender age for a defender of 33, former Swans favourite Neil Taylor has decided to call it a day. (Gareth Bale, media star and captain of the Welsh 2022 World Cup team is the same age, but clearly has not worked himself as hard.)  The FAW website recalls:

Taylor played every minute of all six games for Cymru at EURO 2016 as Chris Coleman's side reached the semi-finals, and scored his one and only international goal in the memorable 3-0 win over Russia in Toulouse that ensured that his side would finish top of Group B and qualify for the R16. One of Coleman's most-trusted defenders, Taylor will forever hold a place in the hearts of the Cymru fans who witnessed that incredible tournament as the side defied the odds.

He was part of the squad which saw Aston Villa's promotion to the Premier League. He has also been a role model for young players of Indian heritage like himself.
