Alan Shearer has paid tribute to former England manager Graham Taylor, who passed away on Thursday.
The Three Lions hero received the first of his 63 caps from Taylor back in 1992 so it is clear to see why he holds a special place on his heart.
Taylor, who also managed Watford and Aston Villa among other clubs, died in his home in Nottinghamshire from a suspected heart attack aged 72.
Completely shocked by news of Graham Taylor. Always held him in the very highest regard - the man who gave me my first @england cap. So sad.
