Towards the end of the 1931/2 Featherstone took the opportunity to blood a crop of youngsters in the first team. Introduced without fanfare for the final five games of the season, George Charles Taylor slotted into the second-row alongside another new recruit Alex Easter. Both had joined the club in March 1932 from the Featherstone Juniors club. After a couple of outings, the press remarked “If Easter and Taylor can continue to show the same form they should prove very valuable players”.

Prophetic words in Taylor’s case. He clocked up just short of 300 games in thirteen seasons, showing remarkably consistency throughout a very lean period in the club’s history. Players of promise at that time were often rapidly sold on to the highest bidder to gain much needed funds for the club, but Taylor was one constant in a fluctuating side. Naturally at home in the second-row, Taylor filled in at hooker from 1933 to 1935 after the sale of Percy Morris. When Morris came back to Featherstone, the ever reliable Taylor switched back to second-row.

He was still going strong at the outbreak of the war and reward came his way with a winner’s medal in the 1940 Yorkshire Cup final. For a forward, whose career had started alongside such as Ernie Barraclough, Luke Morgan and Fred Norbury, to still be grafting away alongside the likes of Frank Hemingway, Bill Sherwood and Wilf Pearson almost a decade later was a remarkable achievement. He lost his place in November 1943, and after a final game a full year later, George Taylor retired.
