David Taylor

Another Scot; the left-back joined City from Glasgow Rangers in 1910. Taylor was at Valley Parade for barely a year; however, in that time City changed him from a forward to a top class defender.

He made 51 appearances for the Bantams, but only seven months after the Cup final he joined Burnley for a large fee. At Turf Moor he won the League Championship and another FA Cup in 1914.

Taylor returned to his native Scotland at the end of his playing career, where he became manager of St Johnstone and later Dunfermline. He came back to England to take charge of Carlisle United, before retiring to Perth in 1939. He died at Bridge of Allen in 1950.
