Football fans across the country have been paying tribute this

:00:09.:00:10.

The 72-year-old former Aston Villa, Wolves and England manager died

:00:11.:00:16.

have been paying their respects ahead of the derby.

:00:23.:00:28.

Remembering a man much loved by everyone at both Wolves and Villa.

:00:29.:00:32.

Just before kick off a few minutes ago, Molineux stood as one

:00:33.:00:35.

Outside the ground too, fans were united in admiration

:00:36.:00:41.

and respect for a man who'd managed both clubs.

:00:42.:00:48.

I think he was a great man. If it had not been for him we would not

:00:49.:00:56.

have at the academy. It is fitting that the land Wolves are together to

:00:57.:00:59.

give him a tribute. At it wasn't just

:01:00.:01:02.

here in Wolverhampton. All across the country today,

:01:03.:01:04.

applause rang out before games in memory of one

:01:05.:01:06.

of football's nicest men. Former Wolves striker Don Goodman,

like so many, has fond memories of Graham Taylor,

:01:10.:01:11.

the man who brought him to Molineux from Sunderland

:01:12.:01:14.

for over ?1 million in 1994. He was a hard man when he needed to

:01:15.:01:28.

be. But he was a lovely man. And a motivator. He made me in particular

area of the city says she was approached by the company

:02:07.:02:11.

to find her front garden dug up and a bill for ?2,500

:02:12.:02:13.

in her letter box. This is totally unacceptable. Nobody

:02:14.:02:28.

should have to come home from work to face this. If people are
