<b>Graham Taylor (1990-1993)</b><br/>
<b>CLUB RECORD:</b> Led Lincoln to the Fourth Division title, and Watford all the way from the bottom tier to a second-placed finish in the top flight. Also took Watford into an FA Cup final, and finished second in the league with Aston Villa in 1990.<br/>
<b>ENGLAND:</b> England were knocked out by hosts Sweden in the group stages of Euro 92, ending a solid start to Taylor's reign. He was pilloried for replacing Lineker with Alan Smith in the second half against the Swedes before the team crashed to a 2-1 defeat - leading to the headline 'Turnip Taylor'. Taylor then lurched from crisis to catastrophe, allowing a documentary filmmaker to follow England's failed 1994 World Cup qualifying campaign, and seeing his side beaten by USA in Boston in summer 1993. There was nowhere else to run other than for his notice after going a goal down to San Marino seconds into the final qualifying game, even though England won 7-1.<br/>
