Graham Taylor immediately succeeded Robson with England, and he proved an impossible act to follow. But it was his early days in management that Taylor recalled today. "Bobby was a wonderful man and a great help to me," he said. "When I first met him he helped me a lot and invited me to come and visit him at Ipswich. I spent a day with him and he showed me what he was doing and how he did it there, he was so enthusiastic. It was very rare as a young manager to get that and he was so warm, you don't get that too often."
