Neil Taylor was an inspirational player who served as Subiaco captain in six of his 15 league seasons, including the premiership year of 1986. Equally at home as a wingman or on the ball, he won the Lions’ fairest and best award on a couple of occasions, and was one of the primary reasons behind his club’s re-emergence as a WAFL force during the mid-1980s. Taylor played a club record 260 senior games for Subiaco between 1975 and 1989. His style of play was perhaps ideally suited to the VFL, but he remained loyal to the Lions.
