He was my favourite player when i was younger. Lost interest in game when Tazza left.

P taylor was a hero player for all kids growing up in the 80,s and just as important to parra as sterlo and kenny her deserves more credit for their premiership wins.

what state was paul from as I went to school with a paul taylor in queensland and he wanted to be a fullback but we lost touch when their family moved to nsw

Was the heart of Parramatta, did all of Sterlings tackling and never got rep honours which he deserved.

One of the best low-tackling techniques to ever bless the boots. Amazingly played above his weight the whole of his career. A real inspiration for any young bloke coming up through the game. Of course, in todays game, tackling round the legs might as well be deemed illegal, as if you cant "rise off the ball" and hit the opposition on the chin every tackle, then you may as well not be out there.

Paul worked for the DPW in the 80's on the tar gang.
I paid the different trades on various sites each Tuesday.
One day he was there at Tarrington PS (I think?) and he came up to me to sign for his pay, I was in awe!
Always remember he had on two odd footy socks, one Manly and the other Parramatta.
What a fantastic player he was !
