Quotes
Rob Dalton, CUFC’s Dirctor of All Classic Soccer: Taylor is an unsung hero that neither needs or seeks the glory to do his job. 100% every time, breaking up opposition play and setting us going foward. A fantastic player to have.
Josh Gillon, local DOC, at a HS playoff game: "(Taylor) is the biggest bully I’ve seen on a soccer field all year, and I mean that in the best, 100% positive, way. His ability to break up the game for the other team is amazing, and then he has the mind to go with his body to start the attack with smart passing and great decision making skills. A lot like Pablo Mastreoni. He’s a fantastic player. I was extremely impressed."
