Steven Taylor’s career at Newcastle United - including that Aston Villa red card and his final appearance against Tottenham Hotspur
Taylor started his journey with Newcastle United aged just nine.
In a senior career that spanned 17 years, Taylor spent 12 of them at Newcastle before moving stateside to play for Portland Timbers.
He has since had spells with Ipswich Town, Peterborough, Wellington Phoenix and Odisha FC.
Taylor’s decade in the Newcastle first-team saw him play in Europe, the Championship and back in Europe again, before ending, once again, in relegation.
His peak arguably came alongside Fabricio Coloccini during the 2011/12 season where they finished 5th and qualified for the Europa League.
