Career
Taylor made his first and only international appearance for the Republic of Ireland on 5 October 1958 in a friendly against Poland, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Jimmy O'Neill. The home match, which was played at Dalymount Park in Dublin, finished as a 2–2 draw with Taylor not conceding while in goal.[2]
In early 1959, Taylor moved to Malta for his job with an Irish construction firm, and subsequently joined Valletta. He began his career at Valletta as a centre-forward, but shortly later returned to his usual position as goalkeeper, playing for the club until mid-1974 when he returned to Ireland.[3]
