The mustached Taylor, known as "Cool Breeze, "Barge", "Bristle" or "BT", began his
VFL career with Richmond in 1980, and had the misfortune of being a full-forward at the same club as the legendary Michael Roach. It was for this reason that he was left out of the 1980 Grand Final team, and he eventually left the Tigers at the end of the 1984 season, having played 43 games and kicking 156 goals.After the 1985 season Taylor joined Collingwood and quickly became a favourite. He kicked 100 goals in 1986 to win the
Coleman Medal , which remained his career highlight. Taylor retired at the end of the 1990 season at only 28 years of age, due to constant knee injuries. He had played 97 games for the Magpies, kicking 371 goals.Post-playing career
