Playing style:
Maik Taylor is a big keeper, who commands his area easily. He has great confidence.

Career:
Maik Taylor was spotted by Ray Clemence, when playing for Farnborough. He quickly got himself a great reputation, and within a year premiership clubs started to show interest. He ended up at Southampton, where he did a great job. But in came a new manager, David Jones, and he thought Paul Jones was a better keeper. So Taylor left for Fulham, where he was part of a team that beat Southampton in the FA-cup, and also won the Second Division championship. Things are really looking up for Maik Taylor.
