Peterborough United chairman’s admiration for a player who could threaten his own side’s promotion chances, plus why Posh fans should be supporting Cobblers on Saturday!
Taylor hit the first senior hat-trick of his career in Lincoln’s 5-0 win over Bristol Rovers at Sincil Bank last weekend. That made it six goals in his last three matches for a 21 year-old who Posh signed from King’s Lynn for just £5k in 2021.
Taylor has now scored 20 goals this season, eight for Lincoln and 12 while on loan at League Two side Colchester United in the first half of the campaign.
Posh sold the speedy striker to Luton Town for £500k 13 months ago since when he’s played in the Championship play-off final before boosting his reputation in the lower divisions.
MacAnthony, on a recent edition of his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast, said: “Joe has not done bad for a player I spent £5k on has he? And good luck to him. I always felt there was a player there, but my managers were never going to play him so we sold him. He was one of my young gems and I’m pleased he’s doing well.”
