Steven Taylor TV star

Last updated : 07 February 2003 By Martyn Elliott

The young centre back, captain of the England Under-17s team, was featured alongside Jermaine Jenas on a Newsround piece about the best young players in England.

Taylor, perhaps wisely, used the opportunity to praise Sir Bobby, commenting: "The manager Bobby Robson has faith in young lads, which is really good.

"I can see, in the future, Newcastle being a very young squad."

JJ though managed to dumb down to the Children’s BBC level, merely describing playing for us as "brilliant".
