Peter Tayor Born 3rd January 1953

Peter managed the England Under-21s for just under three years, from August 1996 to June 1999.

He was brought into the England set-up by former Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Glenn Hoddle after he had been appointed Head Coach of the England Senior Team in July 1996.

Peter's first match in charge of the Under-21s was a UEFA Championship qualifier against Moldova in Chisinau which England won 2-0.

Peter managed the side for a total of 23 matches, including 14 victories, six draws and three defeats, only one of which in a competitive fixture.

England narrowly missed out on the 1998 UEFA Finals, losing on the away goals' rule after a 4-4 aggregate draw against Greece in the play-offs. With six wins out of six in the next qualifying campaign Peter left the side in good shape before Howard Wilkinson replaced him as manager in July 1999.

In November of the following year Peter was appointed Caretaker Head Coach of the England Senior Team for the friendly match against Italy in Turin, with Steve McClaren as his Assistant.
