| Taylor [i] |
 Taylor (forename unknown) was probably born in Scotland, although his place and date of birth remain unknown to us. * The forward appeared for Thistle in May, 1882. He made his only known appearance on Saturday, 13th May, 1882, in a 3-2 friendly win away to Partick. There were no known goals for Taylor in his only known appearance for Thistle. His known club-list included only Partick Thistle. We don't know where or when Taylor died. *

 Whoever this player was, his performance was praised in the middle of May 1882 - alongside early Thistle notaries Jack Beattie, George Leckie & Jerry Suter - in his only known game, a 3-2 win over burgh rivals, Partick, at their Inchview home. The 7th season was drawing to a close, but another two games being arranged against Partick suggested that both clubs were looking to end their campaigns with a grand challenge. Thistle had come a long way in a very short time since losing 5-1 at Partick's Inchview home in September 1880. This was the third derby of 1882 already and there would be another in 10 days time. All were won by Thistle, just as they would be until Partick's demise in 1885. We're not too sure as to Taylor's position, but we'll guess that he had a forward's role since Thistle won and he was being praised. |
