Gordon Taylor on 11:16 - Mar 28 with 4766 views | BarryStrange | Got to agree, he's been an excellent union leader. His job isn't to make football fair, nor to make people like him, it's to look after the interests of professional footballers. Even at L1 / L2 level the life of a footballer is clearly better, more permanent and well-rewarded than it was when he took over at the PFA. | | | |

Jeff Astle? Jeff's daughter doesnt have much good to say about the greedy dictator. His salary far outweighed the good he did in football. | | | |

Trade union leaders invariably are, and he has the luxury of a pretty cash rich membership. However, I still strongly suspect footballers are better looked after when they need it than ever before and he has to take some of the credit for that. | | | |
