    What a tragic waste of life, and of talent.

    Could have been one of the all-time greats. A real shame what happened to such a talent.

    A statue and a stand named after him, along with a statue and stand named after The Reverend and the same for Norman Rimmington. Statues aren't cheap but I feel that they are worth it.

    Was he the best striker the English game has ever produced? He was just coming to his prime when he died.

    Definitely change the stand names, East West and North are just boring

    I believe, that if it had not been for the Munich tragedy, England would have won the World Cup in 1958 and 1962 as well as '66.

    When the salt of the earth Scousers are singing about Munich - they're singing about Tommy Taylor. And Mark Jones.

    Some Barnsley fans sang it at old Trafford in the cup but were shouted down by the majority - not heard Liverpool fans sing it in ages because they know what'll come back at them

    God bless the good folk of Barnsley. From the modest to the great, from them that come to those that go - It stays with you, it means summat.
