	icScotland - Taylor heroics in vein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Maik Taylor made a string of superb saves but still could not save Northern Ireland from a 1-0 defeat against Poland in their World Cup qualifier.
		Taylor was tested in the fifth minute when he did well to tip over a powerful 25-yard free-kick from Zurawski.
		Taylor was again called into action after 61 minutes and was not found wanting, getting down quickly to smother a shot from Karwan.

		Maik joined the North London outfit and quickly earned himself a big reputation under the guidance of the former England goalkeeper, so much so that Graeme Souness took him to Premiership football with Southampton.
		At 6'3" Maik is an imposing figure who commands his area with the ease and total confidence you would expect from an ex-soldier.
		Maik remained patient until the start of the 03/04 Premiership season when he took a chance of first team football at Birmingham City going on a one season loan.

		Defying the critics, Taylor's lightning reactions and reflex shot-stopping have proved time and again that he is more that capable of plying his trade at the top level.
		Taylor will mark his return to first team action with Saturday's trip to Old Trafford, but he is by no means daunted by the prospect of facing Ferguson's might on their own turf.
		Taylor certainly knows that Fulham are more than capable of competing with the big guns following admirable performances against the two front-runners already this season and he is fully aware that, if anything, the pressure is on United.

	icNewcastle - Gunners break brilliant Taylor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Taylor had saved a penalty from Robert Pires midway through the first half, just two minutes after Blues captain Kenny Cunningham was sent off for a cynical foul just outside the area on Freddie Ljungberg.
		Taylor had turned over Reyes' free-kick following the Cunningham dismissal and although it was Robert Pires he foiled with a smothering block from the penalty it was the young Spaniard who became his serial victim afterwards.
		Taylor made a superb save in beating out a fierce drive from Reyes and it was the Spaniard who suffered again when Taylor smothered a low rocket.
