Prince Edward unveils plaque at Barnsley’s Tommy Taylor Memorial Bridge
At a ceremony on Thursday, Prince Edward was joined by about 100 people in Glass Works Square who watched the plaque unveiling.
Audrey Taylor, the footballer’s sister-in-law, said: “It’s important isn’t it, that his name is going to live on now.
It was a short life he had, but now this will help him live on.”
Former cricket umpire Dickie Bird OBE, who played football with Taylor while children, remembered the player’s death leaving people “shocked and stunned”.
“He was such a good player,” he said.
“What would those Manchester United players have done in time if they’d have lived?
“They’d have broken all the records going.”
