Ryan Taylor pays tribute to Toon Army loyalty

Oct 22 2009

by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

RYAN TAYLOR has revealed that Newcastle United’s mammoth home crowds are living proof that he made the right decision to join the Magpies back in January – despite the trials and tribulations at St James’s Park. And even though United go into the game with Doncaster Rovers on the back of defeat at little Scunthorpe United, they are already anticipating an incredible 42,000 fans and counting on Saturday. Taylor – who switched to Tyneside in January in a swap deal for Charles N’Zogbia – has been one of United’s steady performers this season, and the set-piece specialist has weighed in with two goals and three assists in 12 games. And with United hoping they can fire themselves back to the top of the table with three points against Rovers, Taylor has confessed he would not swap places with N’Zogbia – and feels that the possibility of returning to the Premier League at the first attempt is alive and kicking. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT A fired-up Taylor told the Chronicle today: “I’ve not got one regret. “Even though Wigan are still in the Premier League, I feel as though I’ve taken a step in the right direction. There is no doubt about that. “To be at a club like this is a pleasure and I really enjoy playing here and for those fans at St James’s Park. They are different class. “It’s a massive club and there is only one place it should be – the Premier League. “That’s where we are working so hard to take it back to and I want to be a big part of that.”
