London Midland will be renaming one of their class 350 trains "Graham Taylor OBE".

Nice tribute, although no doubt when that noble organ of fine journalism The Sun report on it, they will call it "The Turnip Express"

Great touch to remember a very nice bloke Graham, lets hope they don`t paint it orange:-

Am I 'chuffed' about that?

I certainly am.  :)

I met him when he came to GTFC for a dinner organised by the Trust to raise funds for the youth set up. He was the main speaker and I'm sure many of you were there that night. What a genuine and lovely man. I had quite a chat to him and he was friendly, wanted to chat and very knowledgeable. I fine human being and I'm so pleased that a train is being named after him. I bet he's smiling up there just thinking about it.

I caught a couple of minutes the other day of a programme about a guy who restores train station buildings and he said one of his regular visitors was Graham Taylor who was into trains. If I hadn't seen that then to be honest this would have seemed random, but as well as a football man through and through he obviously loved his trains, so this is a brilliant gesture.

I hope he is looking down on us all with that massive smile on his face.
