Who did you play for in the NASL mate?Played against him when he was with the Rowdies. He came off the bench, scored a goal, ran past our bench and said, “That’s me done!” and laughed as he ran off!
He was a top, top player when he played for us. We were a team of mostly Manchester grafters at the time, and it was like we had brought in some silky, stylish, flash from Dahn Sarf, but he didn’t half light up the field.
He was, perhaps, the most skillful player in the League for a big man, and some of his goals were ridiculous!
Dennis Tueart was my fave as a kid

(liked the way he ran and celebrated his goals, which I copied!), but my slightly older sister adored Rodney...as I’m sure many a Maine Rd lass did!
I remember that and I’m sure that was why Taylor always seemed to have a downer on usWas one of my two favourite players for a long time. Wonderful to watch on a good day, truly an entertainer. Audacious at times. Will never forget him nutmegging Gordon Taylor (PFA Chairman) when he was a Birmingham player and then turning back a megging him again.

Possibly. It was pretty humiliating and I know it's a moment Rodney hasn't forgotten.

Listen to Rodney on his Grumpy Pundits show most mornings on Sirius radio. Always sticks up for the Blues although we do seem to get praise rather than be the pantomime villains we are portrayed as in the UK media

Corner flag piss boiling was at home, October 1972, 3-0 win. At 39mins on this video. “Like shelling peas!”Didn't he also tale the ball into the corner and then knock it into touch off Rag players to waste time.
Not sure if it was then but I'm sure I saw him take a quick throw in and bounce the ball off the back of an opposing player then waltz off with the ball.
