Graham Taylor: Football to pay tribute to former England manager

Football is preparing to pay tribute to former England manager Graham Taylor at fixtures taking place this weekend.

Taylor, who enjoyed success with Watford, Wolves, Aston Villa and Lincoln City, died aged 72 on Thursday.

A minute's applause will be held before the weekend's English Football League matches.

Watford, whom he managed for 15 years over two spells, will commemorate Taylor before their game against Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The EFL said it was also giving clubs the option of letting their players wear black armbands during this weekend's fixtures.

The Premier League will leave the decision of whether to pay tribute to individual clubs.
