BBC Radio 5 live football correspondent John Murray worked with Graham Taylor for many years. Here he fondly recalls what life was like on the road with the former England manager.

Graham Taylor and I sat next to one another in commentary boxes here, there and everywhere.

The first time we were squeezed together in one was for a not-terribly-high-profile match on a Friday night at Brentford. I can still see him bounding up the steps at Griffin Park, wearing a black and white checked jacket, cheerily acknowledging people as he came.

And I remember thinking afterwards that Graham Taylor was everything I hoped he would be.
