==Early life== Born in [[Worksop]], [[Nottinghamshire]],<ref name = BBC38596836/> Taylor moved in 1947 to a [[council house]] in Scunthorpe, where his father, Tom, was the sports reporter for the ''[[Scunthorpe Telegraph|Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph]]''. He went to the Henderson Avenue Junior School, then [[Scunthorpe Grammar School]] (now The St Lawrence Academy), where he met his future wife, Rita, from [[Winteringham]]. He played for the England Grammar Schools football team, and joined the sixth form after passing six [[O-levels]] in 1961, but he left after one year to pursue a full-time career in football. His head teacher disapproved of his actions and told him: "Grammar school boys don't become footballers".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tes.com/news/tes-magazine/tes-magazine/mr-warburton-graham-taylor|title=Ex-England football manager Graham Taylor on his best teacher: Mr Warburton|access-date=12 January 2017|date=11 June 2016|publisher=TES|archive-date=13 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170113162209/https://www.tes.com/news/tes-magazine/tes-magazine/mr-warburton-graham-taylor|url-status=live}}</ref>
